in the Bible
God’s Love, Peace, Truth, and Life
Satan’s Persecution, Curses, Lies, and Death
God is the Creator of the heaven and the earth. He gave His love, peace, and blessings to everything He had created. He also gave truth and life so that they can all live.
God’s messengers testified to what happened in the past, the reality of the present, and what is to come (prophecy) to the people. A promised pastor then came to fulfill that promise (prophecy) (Jn 19:30, Rv 21:6).
He who is sent by God speaks God’s word like God and testifies to what he has seen and heard in heaven (Jn 3:31-34). He is the one who proclaims love, peace, forgiveness, and blessings.
However, Satan cannot do such things.
On the other hand, the serpent is a creation (Gn 3:1) who once was an archangel, one of the four living creatures, but ultimately became Satan (devil) by leaving and betraying God. Greedy to become like God, he persecutes and curses God and all creations. Satan lies and kills anyone who does not belong to his army.
Satan, the devil, and the pastors and congregation members who belong to Satan, devoured the entire earth after Adam’s fall. Whenever God sent His messengers to restore all creation, those belonging to Satan did not remain idle, but persecuted and killed God’s messengers (Mt 5:11-12, Acts 7:51-53).
Satan knows very well that when God’s prophecy fulfills, he will lose his place on earth and as a result, will be punished in the lake of burning sulfur forever and ever. Therefore, Satan curses and lies to prevent the prophecy from fulfilling.
We can distinguish whether a believer belongs to God
or Satan by his actions.
One would not be able to remain oblivious to the identity of Satan
and those who belong to him when the evidences are so clear.
So Jesus said like this:
※ Jn 14:11
Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me,
or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves.
