1 | Is the Jesus the Lord and God of Satan? | Matt 4:7 | Bill Mc | 15111 | ||
Steve, an important consideration of this topic is the fact that God is God and Jesus is Lord whether we (or Satan) acknowledge it or not. I.e. no one 'owns' God. But the Bible makes it clear that 'knowledge' of God is not enough to provide salvation. Satan knows good and well that Christ died for the remission of sins, that Christ was buried and rose again, and that Christ is Lord of lords and exalted at the right hand of God. These are facts known to him. In fact, he still accuses us in front of God. However, he is not born again because he exercises no faith in that, what God did, God did for him. If, as many churches teach, a mere mental assent to the facts of Christ's work is enough to save (head knowledge), than Satan has just as much right to be a member in good standing in our churches as anyone else. The deciding factor is, did Christ die for YOU? Did He take away YOUR sins? Did He rise again to impart new life to YOU? Is He now YOUR life and righteousness? I believe that Jesus existed 2000 years ago and that He was crucified, buried, and ressurected. But this is not salvation. Salvation is KNOWING that He was crucified, buried and resurrected for ME and that He lives in MY heart. Satan (as smart as he is) does not KNOW this because it can only be revealed by the Spirit of God. In Him, Bill Mc |
