Satan's Goal: Separate You From God
- The devil's primary objective is to separate you from God by enticing sin and then condemning you for it.
- Greg Laurie highlights that Satan first questions God's Word to introduce doubt and make God's commands seem restrictive.
Fight Temptation With Scripture
- Resist the devil by refusing tempting thoughts and take every thought captive to Christ as Paul instructs in 2 Corinthians 10.
- Memorize and quote Scripture to fight temptation like Jesus did, using God's Word as your weapon.
Commandments Are Protective Walls
- God's commandments function as protective walls designed for our good, not arbitrary restrictions.
- Laurie frames obedience as safeguard rather than loss of freedom, reversing Satan's lie that God withholds good things.
