Bible Doctrine of Satan
The Bible teaching about the devil is unwelcome to many, yet Scriptures everywhere teach the existence of a personal spirit of evil. Moreover, the facts of human life attest the existence of a superior diabolical spirit who works upon the fallen nature of man, suggesting evil.
Our Lord met a personal devil in the wilderness. Mat. 4:1-11.
Personal names are ascribed to the devil. He is called Satan 35 times in the New Testament.
What is he called in the following passages?
a. Isaiah 14:12: How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
b. John 12:31, Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.
14:30, Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.
16:11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.
c. Ephesians 2:2-Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
d. II Cor. 4:4-In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
e. Revelation 12:9,-And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
.13,And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.
17-And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
f. Revelation 12:3, And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.
14, And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.
15-And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.
g. Ezekiel 28:14-Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
h. II Cor. 11:14,15-For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
14: And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
15: Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
i. Matthew 12:26,27-And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?
27: And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges.
J. Mathew 4:3-And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.
k. 1 Peter 5:8-Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
L. 1 John 2:13,-I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one.
3:12-Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous.
5:18-We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.
m. II Cor. 6:15-And what concord hath Christ with Belial?
n. John 8:44-Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
o. Revelation 12:10-the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.
Is the work of Satan distinguished from the work of the flesh and the world?
Ephesians 2:2, 3; -Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
3: Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
James 4:4; -Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.
1 John 2:3-4-And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
4: He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
