118 Bible Verses about Protection From Evil

Think about Jesus, a righteous person who walked this earth. He represents ultimate wisdom and perfection. He's a true judge, incapable of lying, free of any mistakes. His love and compassion for us mean He feels our struggles, our everyday pain.

No matter what you're going through, He knows and understands. Turning to Him as your defender is the best decision you can make. Having God as your ultimate ally guarantees a safe way out. His heart is pure, He doesn’t plot evil, and His thoughts are always good.

If you've been wronged or caught in a difficult situation, go to the Good Judge. Share your worries and let Him work on your behalf. Don't try to get even or seek justice on your own. Trust in God. Talk to Him, and He will hear your cry and come to your aid.

Stay close to Him and keep your peace, even when things are tough, because God has the final say. Knowing Jesus as your advocate, you'll see how He silences your adversaries. The devil's accusations against you will disappear through the power of Jesus' blood. Because of Him, you are free and live a life without condemnation. Hallelujah.
