I was watching a movie last night. The movie was called "The Usual Suspects" and although it was not a Christian movie by any means, it had a profound statement within it. One of the characters said "The greatest trick Satan ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't exist".

I never thought about it like that, but it is so true. Even though Satan is the ruler of this world and a very real enemy, most people scoff at the idea of his existence. Our enemy is the father of lies, he masquerades as an angel of light and he relentlessly hunts us.

A casual observance of society will tell us that most people don't think Satan is an actual entity. In fact, a lot of Christians don't believe Satan is a literal being. The Bible, however, is very clear on this. Ezekiel details his creation and fall. Job tells us of his conversations with God. Revelation gives us the hope of his ultimate defeat. And throughout the Bible we are warned of the threat this enemy poses to us.

It is truly amazing how someone with such great power and authority over humanity is scoffed at and laughed upon. He is sneaky, conniving and seeking to devour us all - yet has pulled the wool over the eyes of the world.
