The God Of This Age

“The devil comes and takes away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.” Luke 8:12.

The same Book that tells us of God’s love warns us constantly of the devil, who would come between us and God. Some of Satan’s favorite tricks are persuading others to ignore or deny God’s truth. The devil is real and he is an enemy. The devil is out to defeat the Christian in his or her walk with Christ and bring doubt to God’s Word. He well knows that the child of God is a dangerous enemy to his cause. He made every effort to tempt and defeat Christ, and today he concentrates on Christ’s followers. He is the commander-in-chief of the powers of evil and launches attacks against those who have taken sides with Christ and His righteousness. What the Bible says about Satan and his minions is true because it’s God’s Word. The devil harasses, accuses, tempts, deceives, and lies in his dealings with Christians. He works through his allies, the world, and the flesh. The devil uses worldliness to wreak havoc among God’s people, to hinder the progress of righteousness. The devil is a powerful foe who is called “the god of this age” (2 Corinthians 4:4). When we are filled with the Spirit of God and handle His Word with wisdom, the Word of God will defeat Satan every time.
