John 10:10 – 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.
We don’t take it that serious enough. It’s hard for us to understand why someone would hate us to do everything in his power to destroy us and everything around us.
But Satan does. He hates us. There is no love in him.
1 Peter 5:8-9 – 8 Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. 9 Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings.
The love is in the one Who made us and died for us.
We need to constantly seek Jesus, be in the Word, because just as it states above there is one who is right there, ready to tell you what you want to hear.
John 8:44 reminds us that the devil is a murderer. It started in the garden and it continues today. Eve had the serpent tell her what she wanted to hear at the time. He was her friend or so she thought. Turns out
he was a murderer. This passage also reminds us that when he lies he speaks his native language.
So what is one to do? We are all to resist him.
How do we do that? The word repent means to turn away from (sin). Jesus is standing right there behind us the whole time, we just keep running away so were not facing Him.
They both speak to us. One’s a liar, a murderer, and hates us. The Other loves us, gave us life, and asks us
to love and obey Him in return.
We have to do what’s right, resist the devil, and serve our Lord. It is eternally important that we do.
