404 / CORNERSTONE CURRICULUM STUDENT WORKBOOK

Our objective for this lesson, Spiritual Warfare: Binding of the Strong Man , is to enable you to see that: • The Bible teaches that salvation is God’s deliverance of humankind and creation from the power of the devil and the effects of sin. • Through faith in the person of Jesus Christ, those who believe can be delivered from Satan’s dominion and from his tyranny (his deception and oppression) and the fear of death. • The salvation of God in Christ also delivers those who believe from the effects of the Curse and sin through the power of the Spirit. • Evangelism is the declaration of God’s promised and prophesied deliverance through Jesus Christ to the entire world in the power of the Holy Spirit.
