       Because Jesus defeated him at the cross, we have the capability to say no to Satan and believe what is good, right, and true. Theoretically, God has already delivered us from evil in a sense. Our capability to choose good instead of being bound by evil is reality for the Christian. To review again (I want you to get this), we know that all unbelievers are slaves to sin—they really don’t have the ability to choose not to sin. That is, they cannot do good on their own accord. They can do seemingly good things, but at the heart of those good things will always be some other motive, some other power and influence controlling that decision. We, as Christians, are delivered from evil by knowing what the ‘truth’ of the Bible actually is, and by putting that truth into practice. The Bible is wholly truth, and when we follow what it says, we work through God’s power to make our lives better and to do good things for God. We can live the life God wants for us.
