THE DEVIL’S WORK

By

Devil and Satan are the names most often given to the arch enemy of mankind. He is identified by many other terms, but they could all be summed up by, THE WRONG WAY!

Who Belongs To Satan?

Who is your spiritual leader? The apostle gives a test to see who your spiritual leader is. He declares that the one who keeps on living a habitual life of sin belongs to the devil. “He who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning” (1 John 3:8).

If such a one belongs to the devil, then the devil is that person’s spiritual father. Jesus declared that some people in his day had the devil for their father (John 8:44). The devil was the first sinner and he was and is a liar from the beginning. Do not make the devil your daddy.

Jesus Came to Destroy the Devil’s Works

Our work as children of God is both positive and negative. Jesus “appeared to take away our sins” (1 John 3:5). But John declares in this same chapter that “the reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work” (1 John 3:8). Let us destroy his work and promote God’s work!
