He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
The comic depiction of a red devil with horns and a tail has caused many to not take the devil seriously. Yet, the Bible reminds us that the devil is real. From the very beginning, the devil has sinned and has tried to get others to sin. He is the opposite of good – he is evil. When people sin continuously without putting faith in Jesus, they are committing works of the devil. Thankfully, Jesus Christ was sent to destroy the devil and the powers of darkness. We can trust this promise.
My Prayer...
Almighty and victorious King of the Ages, you are the only rightful ruler of my heart. I pledge my allegiance to you. Please help me as I seek to lay aside my struggles with sin and empower me to live for you in unwavering loyalty. In the name of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen.
