Deception! | |
Deception is the Fuel That Propels Satan’s Devices. Deception is one of the major areas in which Satan operates; in other words, that’s his primary strategy among many others. Furthermore, that’s exactly what he used in order to get both Adam and Eve to sin against God in the garden of Eden (Genesis 3:4). His main goal is to influence men to believe in something untrue even though they may have already known the truth. Consider this, Adam and Eve were made perfect, which means that they had not had the sinful nature yet that we all have inherited after their fall. However, the enemy has deceived them anyway; Satan convinced them to disobey God. Bad decision for them and all others that make the same choice. After that, men have constantly found themselves in a horrible mess struggling with a raging sinful nature, which gives them an intense desire to rebel against God. Consequently, that aggravates the problem much further because of that sinful nature men can’t control on their own. This then makes them more prone to fall into the devil’s traps to destroy every aspect of their lives. This sinful nature gives the enemy a legal right to deceive men, and hold them captive indefinitely unless something powerful is done in their lives by God through Christ in order to reverse that sinful tendency men have. It’s true that the enemy doesn’t know what’s going on in the minds of us humans; however, he knows how they will react under certain circumstances. Why? He’s been doing it for several thousand years. He has developed great skills in manipulating, enticing, and provoking people to do what he wants them to do (evil, bad choices, etc.). He knows the weaknesses of men, and he uses that as an opportunity not only to deceive them, but to keep them in bondage for as long as he can. Satan Uses Deception as an Influence to Keep Men From Coming to Christ. As God’s children, we all had been living under his influence at some point in our life. He was our master, we were living a wretched, out of control, wicked, and desperate life as a result. The things that are repulsive to us now by the grace of God are the exact same things that we used to indulge in. Shockingly, we’d been quite comfortable doing them because we’d been blinded completely by the devil. It’s notable that whenever people are offered with the message of the gospel sometimes some of them say they are not ready for it now, or they have plenty of time just as though they have a strong hold on the future, others despise and mock it. As Apostle Paul states in (1 Corinthians 1:18) “For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.” People in their blindness even claim that the gospel’s message is something only the uneducated would believe in. They come up with all kinds of lame excuses in order to give some form of justification as to why they’re not willing to accept Christ as their Savior. The truth is that the more you resist Christ, the more the enemy is holding you captive. By the way, that doesn’t change the reality that you’re moving toward your eternal fate (eternal death). While men are ignorant, or don’t want to acknowledge that they have an enemy they have to run away from as quickly as possible, but their ignorance has no impact on his destructive plan for their lives. The devil is working day and night while men are playing around with their eternity. Satan is very active in the field of deception because almost everything that he’s doing is based completely on it.  | |
