“Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, ‘yea, hath God said, ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?’”(Genesis 3:1)
There are many questions recorded in the Bible. The very first question is regarding the truthfulness of God’s Word. “Did God really say that?
The Bible refers to Satan as, “that old serpent, which is the devil, and satan.” (Revelation 20:2) He is the master of disguises, sometimes transforming himself into an angel of light. (II Corinthians 11:14) Here, he presents himself as a beautiful serpent. But, he is like a roaring lion walking about seeking whom he may devour. ( I Peter 5:8)
The devil calls into question and casts doubts on all of God’s Word. Satan would have mankind believe that there is no such thing as sin and consequently no need for forgiveness, no need for repentance, no need for a sacrifice and no need for a Savior. Our society has swallowed that lie hook, line and sinker. The blacker the sin, the more the devil attempts to persuade mankind that God is a God of love and a loving God would never judge someone guilty of committing a sin, especially if that sin, activity, is now accepted by everyone.
