Bible Question: why did satan want to sift peter and the ohter disciples? |
Bible Answer: Greetings godservant2! Welcome to the Study Bible Forum! Satan tempted Eve to sin against God (Genesis 3:1-6), so he tried to get Jesus to sin and thus fail in his mission as Messiah (Matthew 4:1-11). The tactics of Satan and his demons are to use lies (John 8:44), deception (Revelation 12:9), murder (Psalms 106:37; John 8:44), and every other kind of destructive activity to attempt to cause people to turn away from God and destroy themselves. Demons will try every tactic to blind people to the gospel (2 Corinthians 4:4) and keep them in bondage to things that hinder them from coming to God (Galatians 4:8). They will also try to use temptation, doubt, guilt, fear, confusion, sickness, envy, pride, slander, or any other means possible to hinder a Christian's witness and usefulness.
