The Bible outlines that our main enemies include Satan, false religion, and our own sinful nature.
Believers are made aware of their spiritual enemies through scripture. Satan is identified as a major adversary, as depicted in 1 Peter 5:8, where he is described as a roaring lion seeking to devour the faithful. Additionally, false religion is a significant enemy, often misleading individuals away from the true gospel, as warned in Galatians 1:6-9. Furthermore, the internal struggle with sin, as described in Romans 7:14-25, illustrates that each believer has an innate enemy within, which is their own sinful nature that contradicts God's will. Collectively, these enemies manifest in the lives of believers, urging them to seek divine help for deliverance.
