That same devil that is tempting you to lie or to look at someone to lust after them is the same devil that is stirring up men's hearts to torture and murder innocent children, destroying lives, killing, raping and hating everything that God loves. What we're really talking about here is growing up and becoming mature in Christ. Loving Him More. The Apostle Paul prayed that the eyes of our heart might be enlightened so that we would know the hope to which He has called us, the riches of His glorious inheritance and His incomparably great power for us who believe. God has something better than the sinful baubles that Satan offers.
Evil is just so much cheap jewelry, giving image without substance.
We need to realize that when he tempts us, we are being lied to, we are being sold a bill of goods, we are being made fools. God has something infinitely better. Not only do we get the riches of His glorious inheritance, we get Him. We get intimate relationship with the One who shed His blood for us. We get to marry the knight in shining armor and live with Him forever.
