Text: Matthew 5:13-22

Satan has captured many souls. It is saddening that intellectuals are his most priced slaves. He used the bait of high sounding philosophies to ensnare the worldly wise. Hence we should not be surprised when the devil’s intellectual disciples tell us that there is nether God nor Satan. They loudly declare that there is no devil anywhere. They even go ahead to say that there is nobody called the devil. They tell us that all that exists are good and evil, and not Satan.

Many intellectuals do not believe that there is Satan. Of course, they will however find out when they cry in agony in hell. My Bible tells me that Satan exists. Revelation 20:7 says, “And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison.” You can only imprison something that has physical form. Satan is definitely not an imagination of the mind. Satan likes those who disbelieve his existence. He knows that they cannot escape him. Satan also tells people that there is no God, and that there is no judgment. I know that there is God. He is my Father.

Only a fool disputes the existence of God. He is on His throne. Satan also tells people that there is no hell. He wants people to believe that the idea of hell is to instill fear into people’s hearts. Satan also wants people to believe that if there exists hell at all, it is right here on earth. But Jesus mentioned hell in many places in the Bible. In Matthew 5:22 He said: “But I say unto you, that whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.” Here, Jesus is very emphatic.

Again, He says, in Matthew 11:23, “And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto Heaven, shalt be brought down to hell.” If there were no hell, Jesus would not have mentioned it. Again, he said: And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire.” (Matthew 18:9). Those who go about saying that there is neither hell nor Satan are already accursed. We must pray for them until they are free from the clutches of the spirit of error.

Memory Verse: Hebrews 9:22 - “And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.”
