Many people believe that God is AGAINST us while Satan is on our side. They think that because God puts restrictions on us while Satan wants us to do whatever we want. Their thinking is that this makes God against us with Satan for us.
THIS IS A LIE!
Satan is against you, he does not want you to be saved, he does not want you to follow God, he does not want you to have eternal life.
God does NOT want you to be lost, He does not want you to be hurt in any form, He loves you so much that He sent His Son to die for us and give us a chance of redemption.
So why does He (God) restrict us?
He does it BECAUSE He loves us, He wants us to be obedient and sometimes that requires discipline, sometimes it mean we will be restricted, it means we will NOT be able to do whatever we want to do. Parents do this every day all over the world to make sure that their children grow up to be good people and not a drain on society. They do it because they love their children, not because they love to be ‘mean’.
God says;
Rev 3:19 Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline NIV
Satan wanders around like a roaring Lion seeking who he can devour, does that sound like someone who is on our side? Satan is not competing against God for you, he is competing against you! Do not be deceived Satan is not your friend!
Once again, we do not intend to ‘run’ your life for you. The choices are yours to make, but you need to know all of the facts to make a good decision. Do not just accept what has been written, read the scriptures for yourselves and see what God has said.
