You can know you have an enemy.

Hey youths! Satan is our greatest enemy. The bible says that he was created by God as a beautiful angel. But he turned against God and wanted to destroy God’s plan. He was the one who tricked Eve and brought sin into the world. Sin ruined God’s beautiful creation.

Satan is also called the devil. From the beginning he wanted to stop God from keeping His promise to send a Saviour to die for the sin of the whole world. But Satan failed. Jesus defeated Satan when He died on the cross and came alive from the dead.

Satan hated God and he hates those who have trusted the Lord Jesus as their own personal Saviour.

Satan tried to make us do wrong things. He puts doubts and bad thoughts into our minds. He does not want us to love the Lord Jesus. If Jesus is your Saviour, you do not have to be afraid of Satan. The bible says, “The one [Holy Spirit] who is in you is greater than the one [Satan] who is in the world.” (1 John 4:4). Jesus is God; He is greater and more powerful than Satan. Someday Satan and all those who follow him will be thrown into the lake of fire where they will be punished forever and ever. Since Jesus lives in you, you can learn how to win over your enemy Satan.

“Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.” 1 Peter 5:8
