Satan does not tempt us to sin

Satan does not tempt us to sin.

Wow! Quite an eye-opener, is it not?

Satan tempts us to think differently -- to think that what God has given us with our rebirth / regeneration, we will lose.

Satan tempts us to change our point of view.

When we are saved, we believe we are a child of God. We are valued by Him.

But Satan seeks to control our mind, our every thought. He makes us doubt our value, our worth before God.

Because we feel worthless, it must be so. Afterall, Satan said so.

But we have forgotten. We are children of God, not of Satan.

We must repent, turn back to our First Love -- The Lord Jesus Christ. He is where our true allegiance lies.

We must turn away from mindless thinking, groping in the dark, and reach for the Light -- the Light of Jesus, who cleanses us from all unrighteousness, all wrongdoings, all sin.

"...I have this against you, that you have left your first love. Remember therefore from where you have fallen, repent and do the first works..." - Revelation 2:4-5
