Scripture: 2 Thessalonians 2: 9-12
Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
Scripture Commentary: Don’t believe a lie.
Satan would have you believe a lie that what is wrong is right. Are you doing right in God’s eye, or in just your own eye? Are you doing something that can be done in the daylight or only in darkness?
Satan has a way to make you feel that it’s alright to do wrong. But the Holy Spirit in you will not lie to you.
You need God.
Paul wrote to the Thessalonians to tell them the dangers of losing hope of the coming of Our Lord Jesus Christ. We, today, are starting to live with no hope. This is Satan deceiving you; however, God gives you the freedom to turn your back on Satan.
Your main defense here is prayer that God will protect you from evil and strengthen you so that you can spread God’s Word.
God’s love for you is your only hope, but you must love God too.
