1. Bible Topic

a) To learn what the Bible has to say on a variety of topics affecting our everyday lives, we may find what we are looking for here.

2. Satan

a) Where did sin begin? With the devil. It’s in the Bible, 1 John 3:8, NKJV. “He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.

b) Satan has been a murderer and a liar from the beginning. It’s in the Bible, John 8:44, NKJV. “You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.

c) Where did Satan come from? Satan was once an angel in heaven. It’s in the Bible, Revelation 12:7-9, NKJV. “And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, but they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them in heaven any longer. So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.”

d) Why did God create Satan? Satan was not created sinful. He was created perfect and chosen to be closest to God out of all the angels. It’s in the Bible, Ezekiel 28:14, NKJV. “You were the anointed cherub who covers;  I established you; you were on the holy mountain of God; you walked back and forth in the midst of fiery stones.”

e) Why did Satan rebel? Pride led to Satan’s fall. It’s in the Bible, Ezekiel 28:17, NIV. “Your heart became proud on account of your beauty, and you corrupted your wisdom because of your splendor.”



The End ...
