WE DON'T KNOW
We don’t know that Satan has deceived us until we are deceived. Adam and Eve did not know that the serpent had deceived them until they found out that they were naked. It’s too late by then. Many Christians, including their pastors, don’t know that Satan has deceived them until they are deceived. How do we know that Satan has deceived us or not?
Follow the rules. That’s it. Follow the rules. What are the rules?
Jesus said, "Not everyone who says to Me, `Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.“ Matthew 7:21. The rules can be found in the will of Jesus’ Father, YAHWEH. Doing the will of God is work or obedience. Doing the will of the serpent is no work. “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; [it is] the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.“ Ephesians 2:8-9.
Doing the will of Jesus’ Father involves a lot of self discipline. God, not Paul, will tell us what we can and cannot do. Doing the will of the serpent is something else.
Obedience to YAHWEH and Jesus only is critical if we want to live with God in heaven.
But if we want to live with pastors, priests, false prophets, and the beast on earth, and others, the number of which is like the sand of the sea, we can do whatever we want to do to make a name for ourselves.
“Now when the thousand years have expired, Satan will be released from his prison and will go out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle, whose number [is] as the sand of the sea. They went up on the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city. And fire came down from God out of heaven and devoured them. The devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet [are]. And they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.“ Revelation 20:7-10.
Readers, do you know why they will be tormented day and night? Because our soul is resistant to death.
