February 20th, 2012 We Wrestle Not Against Flesh and Blood…
Since the creation of mankind Satan has deliberately tried to seduce mankind into disobeying the word and will of Jehovah God through lies and trickery…and unfortunately he has been extremely successful. The down fall of man can be attributed directly to Satan (Genesis 1:1-23). Before Adam and Eve revolt against God the world was perfect and everything within it as well. Before sin entered into the world there was no sickness, disease, starvation, or murder. These plagues are a direct manifestation of sin. Sin and sin alone is the result of rebelling against the word of God.
Before sin entered into the world there was only peace, prosperity, happiness, blessedness, love, goodwill, and a close personal relationship between God the Father and Adam and Eve; however, after choosing to rebel against God by following the advice of Satan, Adam and Eve’s submission to sin has brought about horrific consequences for the whole world even to this very day! But Jehovah’s love for mankind did not end there with the rebellious couple sinning against Him; instead, God immediately made plans for salvation and redemption for fallen mankind (Genesis 3:15).
