Question 4:
How do you know that Satan is real?
Answer: Again, the simple answer is that we
believe Satan is real because the Bible says he is real. Additionally, all one has to do is look
around at the depravity of this world and it is obvious that an evil force is
alive and well, wreaking havoc at every turn. Ephesians 6:10-20 tells us to “put
on the whole armour God that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the
devil”. We are told that our enemy
is not flesh and blood but one that is in the spiritual realm – “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but
against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of
this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” The
Bible portrays Satan in many powerful and menacing forms: as a hungry lion
seeking to devour (I Peter 5:8), as an “angel of light” – disguising
himself and deceiving many (II Corinthians
And tho this world, with devils filled, Should
threaten to undo us,
We will not fear, for God hath willed His truth to
triumph thru us.
His rage we can endure, For
lo! His doom is sure: One little word shall fell him.
Yes, Satan’s
doom is sure – for in Revelation 20:10 we see his future: “And the devil that deceived them was cast into the
lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and
shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.” While
he may reign today as the “prince of the power of the air,” some day he will be
silenced and put away forever.
