SATAN HATES GOD



Satan hates God.

Satan hates the Gospel because the Gospel brings eternal salvation to mankind. 

Satan hates anyone who preaches the True Gospel because they are turning and taking men from death to life, from darkness to light, and from the dominion of Satan into the Kingdom God. 

Satan hates this with all he is and all he has. 

He completely condones false gospels and encourages busyness and preoccupation with spiritually empty religious activities. He sponsors the exaltation of self-centeredness and the hero-worshipping of man, which are subtle and deceitful forms of idolatry and hypocrisy.  

Infact, he creates false gospels and false religion to divert ignorant and gullible seekers from Christ to seeking after and worshipping self, that is to follow the self-will, which by extension is following Satan himself, but done in the name of God.

This is a most dangerous deception in much of mainstream or popular Christianity.

Little or no dying to self. 

Much serving and idolizing of the self: it's mostly about self-will, self-image, self-enlargement and self-glorification.

This leads to all sorts of selfishness, bitterness, godlessness, lawlessness and wickedness. 

Thus, no true Christ followership.

Who among you is wise and understanding? Let him show by his good conduct his works in the gentleness of wisdom. But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, do not be arrogant and so lie against the truth. This wisdom is not coming down from above, but is earthly, natural, demonic. For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there is disorder and every evil practice. (James 3:13-16 LSB)

But you are A CHOSEN FAMILY, A royal PRIESTHOOD, A HOLY NATION, A PEOPLE FOR God’s OWN POSSESSION, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light. (1Peter 2:9 LSB)

DESTROY THIS TEMPLE

Image
  "Destroy this sanctuary, and in three days I will raise it up."   The words of the Lord Jesus to the dangerous and conniving religious leaders of His day who sought to kill Him and thus to silence the Truth of Yahweh (YHWH). He said this in reply to their demand for a miraculous sign in query of the authority He had to chase the money changers and merchandise sellers from the Temple just after He had cleared the Temple of these economic profiteering activities in the (falsely) religious space.  This same Christ who is the Truth gave His Word and Spirit of Truth to His Apostles who, as He had done, also bore witness to the Truth even with their lives and passed the same Truth down to the Church, which is the Body of Christ, who is the Only Head of His One Body. Selah. To be clear, we don't need to chase any religious merchant from their self-owned religious centres or overturn any tables. We only need to "bear witness to The Truth" and "earnestly contend f

WORSHIP!

Image
  What is Worship? Worship is reverential adoration and devotion. It is the deeply embedded heart attitude and habitual practice of holding highest regard, giving supreme adulation, paying unparalleled homage, rendering foremost service or according topmost dedication to someone or something.  Human beings were designed to worship. This means, we are all naturally wired to be devoted to something or someone we reckon or perceive to be most grandiose or to be the greatest Thing or Being worthy of our keenest attention, truest affection, deepest love and highest loyalty.

SCRIPTURE IS INERRANT AND SUFFICIENT

Image
  The Holy Scripture is inerrant and sufficient. Inerrant simply means incapable of being wrong. Sufficient of course means enough or adequate. To deny the inerrancy of Scripture is to call into question and cast doubt on the God revealed in the Scripture, on Christ who died, rose and is coming back as Judge and King, and on man’s salvation from eternal damnation which is solely based on the Cross and Work of Christ, the Word of God.  Scripture is either true or the God of the Bible, who is the God of love and righteousness, mercy and justice, grace and truth, revealed by and in the Lord Jesus Christ as “Our Father who is in Heaven” is not real but a fable or figment of man's imagination.  The Bible is the absolute truth of God. Albeit misunderstood and misused by so many in the false profession and practice of Christian religion for inglorious purposes and transient benefits, the Bible is essentially about the Gospel of Christ, which is the power of God unto salvation to everyone
