The term is often associated with spiritual warfare, moral integrity, and the believer's duty to uphold righteousness.<br><br><b>Old Testament Context</b><br><br>In the Old Testament, resistance is frequently depicted in the context of opposing evil and injustice. For example, the Israelites were often called to resist the idolatrous practices of surrounding nations. In <a href="/exodus/23-2.htm">Exodus 23:2</a>, the Israelites are instructed, "You shall not follow a crowd to do evil." This command underscores the importance of resisting societal pressures that lead away from God's commandments.<br><br>The Psalms also reflect a theme of resistance, particularly in the face of wickedness. <a href="/psalms/1.htm">Psalm 1:1-2</a> contrasts the blessed man who resists the counsel of the wicked with those who follow sinful paths: "Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor set foot on the path of sinners, nor sit in the seat of mockers. But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on His law he meditates day and night."<br><br><b>New Testament Context</b><br><br>In the New Testament, the concept of resistance is often linked to spiritual warfare and the believer's struggle against sin and Satan. <a href="/james/4-7.htm">James 4:7</a> provides a clear directive: "Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you." This verse highlights the dual action of submission to God and active resistance against the devil as essential for spiritual victory.<br><br>The Apostle Paul, in his epistle to the Ephesians, emphasizes the need for believers to stand firm against spiritual forces of evil. <a href="/ephesians/6-13.htm">Ephesians 6:13-14</a> states, "Therefore take up the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you will be able to stand your ground, and having done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness arrayed."<br><br><b>Moral and Ethical Resistance</b><br><br>Resistance in the Bible is not limited to spiritual adversaries but extends to moral and ethical challenges. Believers are called to resist conforming to worldly standards and instead be transformed by the renewing of their minds (<a href="/romans/12-2.htm">Romans 12:2</a>). This resistance is a proactive stance, requiring discernment and commitment to God's truth.<br><br>The Apostle Peter also addresses the need for resistance in the face of persecution and suffering. In <a href="/1_peter/5-8.htm">1 Peter 5:8-9</a>, he exhorts believers: "Be sober-minded and alert. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in your faith, and in the knowledge that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kinds of suffering."<br><br><b>Practical Application</b><br><br>The biblical call to resist is both a personal and communal endeavor. It involves individual believers taking a stand against sin in their own lives and the collective body of Christ resisting societal pressures that contradict biblical values. This resistance is empowered by the Holy Spirit, who enables believers to discern truth, reject falsehood, and live in obedience to God's Word.<br><br>In summary, the biblical concept of resistance is multifaceted, encompassing spiritual, moral, and ethical dimensions. It is a call to stand firm in faith, oppose evil, and uphold righteousness in every aspect of life.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
