Our greatest enemy

Our greatest enemy in this world is called Satan he knows God because he was created by God he knows the word of God because he has studied it for many generations he knows that human nature is that part of us that wants to sin against God and one another because he was in the garden of Eden when sin got started.

Satan having that same sin nature in him wants to be greater than God and so he is at war with God he wants to have dominion over Gods creation. He believes that if he can succeed in controlling the human race he will have the power in the end to defeat God.

But that will never happen because the creator of all life is the greater power. Almighty God will always have controlling power over His creation.

There are two spiritual forces at work in this world. Working to gain control of the human heart There is good (Gods Holy Spirit) and there is evil (Satan’s demonic spirit).

Good will always overcome evil and in the end good will prevail over all of Satan’s evil plans for us humans on earth.

Romans 12:21

New International Version (NIV)

²¹ Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Jesus said Satan is the father of lies and a murderer.

John 8:44

New International Version (NIV)

⁴⁴ You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

Satans purpose on earth is to kill steal and destroy us if he can. Jesus purpose is save life and give back what the thief steals from us and build for us a better and everlasting home without end.

John 10:10

New International Version (NIV)

¹⁰ The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.

2 Corinthians 4:4

Satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don't believe. They are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News. They don't understand this message about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God.

So you see then there is two who would lead us through life in this world one is the god of this world (devil) the other is Almighty God of heaven earth and the universe (Jesus).

One will lead us to shame and destruction killing us with the second death and everlasting hell. The other will lead us to glorious full and eternal life in the kingdom of God.

John 3:16

King James Version (KJV)

¹⁶ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Everyone has a choice of who they want to follow and where they want to go in this world and in the world to come.

I and my family made our choice to follow Jesus some 52 years ago and we haven’t been disappointed with where He leads nor have we regretted our decision to follow Him not even for one minute of our lives.

Life has two ways to go and the choice is ours and yours.

Joshua 24:15 (NIV)

 But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.”

Thank God in this world we have a choice to live for Jesus and in the world that is to come by His choice we can live with Him.
