…the world around us is under the control of the evil one. 1 John 5:19

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16

For God has rescued us from the kingdom of darkness and transferred us into the Kingdom of Jesus, who purchased our freedom and forgave our sins. Col 1:13 - 14

Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. 1 Peter 5:8
