Reasons Why Satan Deceives

. That we may doubt God’s Word

Genesis 3:1

Now the serpent  was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’? ”

. That we may believe Satan’s word

Genesis 3:4-5

“You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman.    “For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God,  knowing good and evil.”

. That we may not believe in God’s Goodness

Genesis 3:5

“For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God,  knowing good and evil.”

. That we may not obey God’s Word

Genesis 3:6

When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable  for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband,  who was with her, and he ate it

. That we  may be led astray from Christ

2 Corinthians 11:3

But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent’s cunning,  your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ.

. That we may not love the truth

2 Thessalonians 2:10-11

and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing.  They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved.    For this reason God sends them  a powerful delusion  so that they will believe the lie

. Because God permits  deception

2  Chronicles 18:19-22

And the Lord said, ‘Who will entice Ahab king of Israel into attacking Ramoth Gilead and going to his death there?’

 “One suggested this, and another that.   Finally, a spirit came forward, stood before the Lord and said, ‘I will entice him.’

 “‘By what means?’ the Lord asked.

    “‘I will go and be a deceiving spirit  in the mouths of all his prophets,’ he said.

 “‘You will succeed in enticing him,’ said the Lord. ‘Go and do it.’

    “So now the Lord has put a deceiving spirit in the mouths of these prophets of yours.  The Lord has decreed disaster for you.”
