Bible Question:
Satan knew who Jesus was,right? But did he know of God's plan for salvation,the cross??? Let me know if this has already been discussed. I could not find it in the archieves |
Bible Answer: Hello, I'd have to say that Satan does know God's plan for Salvation, or at least he knows part of it. Satan maybe a fool for trying to go against God, but he not dumb. Satan and his demons all have acknowledged Jesus as the Son of God. Look at Legion's statement in Mark 5. I love this passage. :-) Before Jesus even approached him, Legion runs up to Jesus, falls down on the ground in submission, and says to him, "What do you have to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I adjure you by God, do not torment me." Before Jesus even says anything, Legion acknowledges Christ's deity, his authority, and requests mercy from him in the name of God, who he (Legion) has rejected. Then Legion turns around and asks permission from Jesus to enter into the pigs nearby. This event tells me that Satan at least knows a little-bit about God's salvational plan, and that his demons know enough about Jesus to fear him. Jesusman |
