In one of my articles I showed how Satan uses accusations to gain God’s permission to tempt Christians. In this article I would like to show you how Satan actually formulates these accusations.
To begin with, many Christians keep Bibles in their homes, but unfortunately, they do not read them. Most do not know that Satan also keeps a copy of the Bible and that he reads it frequently in an attempt to find Bible verses that have been violated by a Christian.
Secondly, the Devil uses God’s Word to tell God that a Christian has violated a partuclar Bible verse.
Why Satan uses the Scriptures
The Devil knows that God respects and magnifies His Word, for it is written in Psalm 138:2. that:
I will bow down [in worship] toward Your holy temple
And give thanks to Your name
for Your lovingkindness and Your truth;
For You have magnified Your word
together with Your name.
Since God always honors His written Word, Satan uses this truth to his advantage. The devil is on constant watch to see if any Christian violates God’s Word. If he observes any Christian doing this violation, he will go before God to accuse that Christian so that he gets God’s permission to tempt them.
Here is a good example,
If a Christian gets angry with another person, Satan will come before God and say:
Is it not written that “Anyone who is angry with a brother or sister[a][b] will be subject to judgment. (Mathew 5:22)? Then give me permission to go and test that Christian.
Since God respects and exalts His Word, He will give Satan permission to tempt that Christian. I can inform you that not even God’s angels will dare to challenge Satan because they have a lot of reverence for God’s written word.
