James 4:7 instructs Christians to “resist the devil” so that he will “flee from you.”
While some may be reluctant to consciously resist the devil, the truth remains that the devil is like “a roaring lion, prowling around seeking to destroy us” (1 Peter 5:8).
One of the worse things that a Christian can do is ignore the threat that the devil poses to them.
They must resist the devil and “draw near to God.”
