1 Peter 5:8
If I Were Satan
Before the world began, God lived in Heaven with all his angels around him.
There was one angel who was highest above all other angels—Satan.
His high position made him proud and rebellious against God.
*Pride cannot stand against God.
*So Satan lost his high position and was cast out of heaven.
Satan never recovered from this downfall, and ever since he has been trying to defeat the purpose and work of God.
*What is the purpose of God?* It is to save people, and for this purpose He gave his only begotten son to die upon Calvary’s cross.
Now the great work of the Devil is in trying to keep people from being saved.
If I were Satan and wanted to prevent the salvation of people, what would I do?
I would do exactly what he is doing.
He is not a fool; he is a creature of great cunning and intelligence.
He knows how to work on people.
He has been busy for centuries and will be busy until the end.
So many people who try to live a more Godly life say its hard.
Of course it is hard—you now have Satan after you.
I.
If I were Satan I would Deceive people as to myself.
a. Modern cartoonists poke fun at a belief in Satan.
They paint him as a sinister being arrayed in a red suite, having a long tail and carrying a fork in his hand.
But the devil does not come that way, he is robed in beauty and light.
Our scripture describes Satan as a roaring lion.
He is also described as a serpent, a deceiver, the evil one, or the dragon.
His motive is evil only.
The God of this world is out to deceive us and cloths himself in many garbs.
II.
If I were Satan I would make sin attractive.
a.
In the Garden of Eden he did exactly that.
Eve was surrounded by matchless beauty, but Satan came to turn her from God and he made sin appear so attractive that she yielded.
Today he is doing the same thing.
He makes sin beautiful to the eye and greatly to be desired and while man yields to temptation he laughs with glee.
b. Sin always looks good.
It never appears as it really is.
Look at alcohol and drugs.
c. Satan makes everything look good and then he leads us on until the way of the sinner ends in hell.
In II Corinthians 4:4 we are told that the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not.
Look at the places of sin today.
They are the most attractive places in town.
They reach out their luring hands and pull in their victims.
This is the work of Satan.
