" He that committeth sin is of the devil ; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil." 1 John 3:8
Statement (1) "There is an enemy roaming around seeking to destroy you. He hates not just you but everything godly you stand for."
Statement (2) "Being against the devil is being against sin since the devil tempts us to sin."
The soul that sins it shall die!
Look at those two statements above the first one is exactly true. Satan is real. God is real too but he's the almighty God of Israel which in turn is Jesus Christ of Nazareth otherwise born a Hebrew Rabbi given the name Emmanuel - God With Us and known in the Hebrew Bible as Yeshua. Christ appeared/was manifested to destroy the works of the devil as written in the bible. 1 John 3:8
Satan the devil roams around looking to destroy people. 1 Peter 5:8
Those who sin are his children as this devil has been sinning from the beginning as he tempted Adam and Eve in the garden which is not an allegory and this was spread by atheism which in turn works in favor of the devil anyways. The Bible says let God be true and every man a liar and God's word is truth. Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth
Who is Satan and how does the bible describe him?
Serpent (Genesis 3), Satan, Lucifer (Isaiah 14:12), Devil, the great dragon (Revelation 12:9), the prince of demons (Matt 12:24), the king of Tyre (Ezekiel 28:14), and the father of lies (John 8:44).
In the book of Ephesians 6:12 it is written:
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Principalities, rulers of darkness of the world in this world and spiritual wickedness in high places. Notice high places. Has other meaning too; places of worship . What do they see in the skies that appear to be UFOs? Life in the universe does not exist but demonic life does exist and true Christians who learn what we truly wrestle against find out once they are born again what Christ knew but why?
First of all let me say that God says we are supposed to store up treasures for heaven where moths can't get at them. These are your important works which become treasures in a sense. The Bible says be faithful unto death and Christ will give you a crown of life. So why doesn't God destroy Satan? Christ already started to do that for us. The Bible says the demons know Christ is the son of the living God and tremble. But all things have to be fulfilled as written in prophecy.
I once read and heard the podcast of a well-known preacher talking about why God doesn't take Satan out is the terminology he used. Satan and his angels were cast out of heaven down to the Earth and the Bible warns the inhabitants of the Earth about this. Revelation 12:7-17 Revelation 12:12
First off the adversary hates God and wants to be God and tried to cast God out and replace him but was unsuccessful. He was created by God and iniquity, pride was found in him. He's a serpent and the father of lies and tempts mankind but God does not tempt mankind. So why doesn't God take him out? Gods WILL be done as written. The Bible says we will be judging angels in life to come. Not those who are going to hell but those who are going to be in heaven. Angels must be judged just as humans must be judged and there is one who judges them. The angels that fell are reserved for judgment just as the Earth is also reserved for judgment and it is called a great day of the Lord. There will come a time when God takes the grace of the earth and severely punishes it and that's written in the Book of Revelation. We can get into a study, reasoning why God will not take Satan out but it works God's will in the end. Remember Eve a woman disobeyed God and was deceived by the cunning serpent Satan as many humans are and it shows God the wicked heart and who is their master. So I will leave it there.
Once you are washed in the blood to speak and you are in Christ you are for sure the enemy of the devil and his angels including demons which do exist. We are told, instructed to stand against the schemes of the devil but we must know what they are. Before we were true believers many of us were the devils supporters and we fulfilled the lust of the flesh and we did not live in the spirit but in the flesh and we were Hellbound ignorantly and blindly we lived ignorant sinful lives. We swam in sin and deceived our own souls as we were participants of the devil. To know God he gave us a savior and he paid the price as God crushed him and by his stripes we are healed. We are instructed to obey God and also to crucify the flesh and live in the spirit but many counterfeit believers of course completely disobey these things and think they're going to heaven. Notice I didn't even touch on atheism because religious people do the works of the flesh and of the devil and claim to be believers. The Bible says you must be born again. John 3:3
So you're out there as everything has been made new once you are saved and born again and as some Christians reported that's when the troubles truly began. Now you see and you have the mind of Christ and you see what he saw and you know some of what he knows and you are still learning and developing. See the Bible tells us to be studied and show ourselves approved. For example today I was out there and it was traffic and some guy screamed out loud holy sh** etc. He belongs to the devil and I rebuked him. We wrestle not against flesh and blood and this was not just coincidental. Satan attacks God's children and it's a known fact amongst true believers. Here's what true believers are told they must do: reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. You need to exercise Godly wisdom so you don't do it in anger or pride because even as written in scripture God does not take pleasure when people do perish. Another one people do is take God's name in vain or holy things in vain like there's no tomorrow. They don't fear for their soul but they will one day when they're pleading for it. They live in ignorance and darkness not knowing what awaits the grave. You don't cease to exist after the first death as that's when your problems truly begin. The Bible says the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom which is true. People lie including employers, including employees, including your friends, including construction workers and what's on their tongue if you ever hear their conversations is vanity. Sex drugs and rock and roll, cursing to speak. The heart is abundantly wicked. Now put aside workers in a day you know or students doing their routine tasks. But aside from this the condition of human beings is evil and that is what a lot of people subscribe to. The Bible says we must love God with all our heart, mind and soul and you can't do this if you don't know him so you must. 1 2
You can't serve two masters remember that so you decide where you're going Heaven or Hell and whom is your master.
Extremely important in my afterthoughts that not everything is to be taken negative. I am sure there are students out there even construction workers that are pleasant. But from experience when we were in the flesh and from now with what we have been taught and observant one see that the world hates God and are hoarders of sin. Important to note Christ said the more you are faithful over a few things he will give the follower believer more authority over many things. Matthew 25:21 KJV
