Satan Is Not To Be Blame! Understanding The Gateway Of Darkness by KingdomTenets(m): 11:05am On Mar 30, 2021
Intro:-
Have you ever asked yourself why you pay or suffer the consequences of your Sin, even though we blame Satan for all our evil and sinful acts?

Human often blame the Devil most of the time for making us sin, we hear sentence like "It's the devils work or devil pushed me" but at the end we suffer the consequences and punishment for our own actions. And if we refuse to embrace Christ before death comes, God will cast us away into everlasting darkness.

Question
Now, the question is- if Satan is truly responsible for our sins and hell is already prepared for Him and the fallen Angels, why then do we partake in the sufferings?

Man Commits Sin, Not Satan
According to the scripture, Satan INTRODUCES sin to man. Just the way He did with Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, even Jesus Christ wasn't left behind. But the truth is, we are the ones responsible for devilish act committed. And this is why the law has never and will never punish Satan for the evil we commit, the hit falls on the sinner. As a matter of facts, that's why counties have prisons and other correctional centers for human and not Satan.
Or is there any place in the scripture where God says, Oh Isrealite hath sinned, and I will punish Satan for their sins (smiling). No! Nothing like that, in most cases they ended up in severe punishment or slavery.

(Why Should Man Be Blamed?)
(Biblical Illustration)

Now, let's take the first Sin in the Garden of Eden as an example, Genesis Chapter 3 from verse 4 to 6.
In verses 4 and 5, Satan presented a convincing reason and justification for Eve to disobey God's instruction, creating all kind of stuffs in her head. But verse 6 gives us a clear picture of why Eve made that decision.

1. Coveteousness
Verse 6, Bible says:
"And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desire to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat."

The first thing I saw in that verse is "Coveteouness"
Even when you have enough (all different kinds of fruit in the garden), you still desire that which is not yours.
Example: Politicians with big salary and allowance still desire that which belong to the masses. David had wives and concubines but still desires Bethsheba (Uriah's wife) 2 Samuel 11.
Desiring good things is not a sin, but acting against God in getting them is the problem. You don't care who you trample upon to get it, you don't care who suffers or what is at stake.

The Second thing in that verse is "Self Wisdom"
Today men want to be wiser and smarter than God and that has brought more evil than good. Corona Virus for instance was created out of exhibition of men's wisdom. We rejected God's wisdom. We don't want to live according to His will. Little do we know, the wiser man become of himself, the more it destroys humanity.

The Third and Main Thing is "Disobedience"
God gave them a clear instruction, "Do Not Eat From This Tree", but they disobeyed because of wishful thinking and desires, which brought sin into the world.

So with that single verse, we can see that Satan never push or force man to sin, he only pollutes our heart with reasons to commit sin, but man made the choice out of it selfish desires. One of the gateways Satan uses to establish his mission or to carry out his evil work is through man's unguided desires. Devil wrap up sin with our lust, desires, temperament etc to lure us into what we should stay away from. It then becomes a matter of truth and discipline to stay true to ourselves.

That is why it is very important to study they word of God and have understanding of the mind of God concerning things. This is where our freedom is.
Jesus said:
Matthew 4:4 AMP
But Jesus replied, “It is written and forever remains written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone , but by every word that comes out of the mouth of God .’ ”

Joshua 1:8 AMP
This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall read [and meditate on] it day and night, so that you may be careful to do [everything] in accordance with all that is written in it; for then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will be successful.

So, blaming Satan for our sins seems to be a way of escape and a kind of justification we create to live a sinful life. To hurt your brother, to steal what is not yours, fornication, adultery etc, are all works of the flesh and it's our duty as human to subject the flesh under control.

James 1:15 says: Then when lust hath conceived, it brings forth sin, and sin, when it's finished, brings forth death. It's that simple.

Let's break it down now.
Satan introduces sin to us. He doesn't push or force us to do it. But present it to us with every lust, desires and selfish justification he could find in us to make us summit to it.
But it becomes your choice to yeild to it.

So, stop blaming Satan, but instead, take responsibility for your actions.

Thank you.

Believe it or not, sin was part of Gods plan from the beginning. He created us like this with the ability to commit sin(whatever that means)..He endowed us with the ability to make choices. Sin simply means making a wrong choice or missing the mark. He did so, with the hope that we will learn from it and grow...

Satan is not responsible for anything. Satan works for God and does ONLY what God tells him to do. He is very much part of Gods kingdom. Not independent nor is he a dual opposite of God..The devil has no will outside the will of God. Whatever happens, happens because it is the will of God. Whether Good or bad.

There is just nothing God created that he cant control. To think so is an insult on our creator.

Job 1:6 AMP
"Now there was a day when the sons of God (angels) came to present themselves before the Lord , and Satan (adversary, accuser) also came among them."

With the above verse, Satan was not addressed as part of the sons of God but the other way round.
Of course, we are aware that Lucifer was created by God until he was cast down alongside other evil angels.

Until the time of judgement the Devil is free, and his presence at God's throne doesn't make him equally yoked with God.
