Precepts of Biblical Survivalism

3- Read the Book. Do what it says. The Bible is the User Guide for Life, written by the Creator of Life himself. It is how we know what are God's ways. It is how we know God's Laws. It is how we know what Sin is (1 John 3: 4). It is Wisdom. It is absolute Truth. 

Jesus Speaking: "If you love me, you will keep my commands." -- John 14:15

For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of [c]the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;

* Feel free to memorize using whatever version you are comfortable with. The above happens to be in the New King James.
