Do You Believe in a Devil?
Bible Teaching About Temptation
MORE than 100 years ago these lines were written (by an unknown
author) to accompany a drawing of "His Satanic Majesty":
"This is he, with horns and hoof,
The parsons call the devil;
They tell us he lives in a sultry place
Where ghosts and imps all revel.
They say that he wears a great long tail,
And carries a three-pronged fork,
That he sometimes leaves his sultry home,
And through the earth doth walk.
They say he can assume with ease
The garb of an angel bright,
And then, for a change, he takes the form
Of a roaring lion at night:
That he's power to act and do as he likes,
Be in fifty places at once;
And that to fulfil his evil designs,
Can be wise as a sage, or a dunce."
Today most people no longer think of the devil like that. But there are still
many people who believe that the devil exists, that he wields immense
power for evil (some say he is a fallen angel) and is constantly trying to
destroy the work of God among men and women. They think it is the devil
that secretly whispers in your ear and tempts you to evil.
Of course there are real difficulties about accepting such an idea. If the
devil was a real angel to begin with, how ever did he come to revolt
against God? And why does God allow a supernatural being to destroy His
work in the earth? Where is the devil now, anyway? And how can he
really work?
