The Devil and Deception “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” - Jesus Christ (John 10:10) -

Names Satan Devil Serpent Beelzebub or Beelzebul Ruler or prince of this world The god of this age Prince of the power of the air Evil one Father of lies Murderer Prince of demons Tempter Accuser of our brothers

Character and Tactics John 8:44 “You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.” 1 John 3:8a “He who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning.”

Character and Tactics 1 John 3:8b “The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil's work.” Galatians 4:8 “Formerly, when you did not know God, you were slaves to those who by nature are not gods.” 1 Peter 5:8 “Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.”

Character and Tactics 2 Corinthians 4:4 “The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.” 2 Corinthians 11:3 “But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent's cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ.”

Character and Tactics in Action Genesis 3:1-19 (compare vs. 6 to 1 John 2:16) Lust of the flesh = “When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food…” (Hedonism) Lust of the eyes = “…and pleasing to the eye…” (Materialism) Pride of life = “…and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it.” (Selfishness) The serpent was the first to be cursed by God There is now enmity between man and the serpent

The Truth about Deception What is the goal of deception? “How do I get to Chestnut Street?” God’s command: Genesis 2:15-17 The devil uses lies to deceive: Genesis 3:1-4 The devil uses truth to deceive: Genesis 3:5 (see Genesis 3:22)

Christ is over all “The world is not divided between Christ and the devil, but, whether it recognizes it or not, it is solely and entirely the world of Christ.” – Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Discussion What are some key instances in The Srewtape Letters that illustrate these facts about the devil? How responsible is the devil for sin? Is the devil the opposite of God?

God’s question for me “Why are you working to keep what you didn’t work to get?”
