2. Pawns of Satan

3. Several New Testament characters were used as pawns by Satan – Judas (John 13:27; Luke 22:3-4) – The Jews (John 8:40, 44) – Simon Peter (Mark 8:31-33)

4. Pawns of Satan Satan uses people as pawns still today. When we cause others to sin (Luke 17:1-2; Hebrews 12:15; Matthew 5:32; Romans 14:13-15) When we fail to forgive (Luke 17:3-4; 2 Corinthians 2:10-11) When we are hypocritical and self-serving (Mark 8:31-33) When we fail to be submissive (1 Timothy 6:1; 5:14-15; Titus 2:5) When we heed false teachers (2 Peter 2:1-2; 1 Timothy 4:1)

5. Pawns of Satan The startling truth is that we are all pawns. The question is whose pawns are we? – “For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ” (Philippians 3:18) We may belong to Satan or to the Lord! In whose service would you prefer to sacrifice yourself? (Romans 6:13, 16)
