Satan, who is our sworn enemy, is focused entirely on attacking and destroying us. He was once one of God’s angels but was cast out of heaven and sentenced to hell because of his pride; he now spends his remaining time accusing mankind of their sins. He wants to slander and discredit believers and uses accusations to do that. The devil has chosen to be our adversary; he vehemently opposes not only our salvation but any opportunity for us to experience the light of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. When Satan accuses us, our response must be faith in Jesus and in the blood, He shed for the forgiveness of our sins. Jesus’ blood is much more powerful than anything the devil hurls at us to cause shame and condemnation. Regardless of the lies the enemy tells us, the forgiveness and salvation we receive from God is permanent.
