Reading Time: 4 minutesQuestion 08118 The fall of Satan is one of those subjects where Scripture provides real information without giving an exhaustive narrative. There is no chapter in the Bible titled “The Fall of Satan” in the way there is a chapter describing the fall of humanity in Genesis 3. What we do have are two remarkable…
Reading Time: 3 minutesQuestion 08106 Fear of the demonic is something many Christians experience, and it ranges from a mild unease about the unseen spiritual world to a paralysing anxiety that Satan or his agents might harm them, their families, or their spiritual lives. The question of whether believers should be afraid of Satan and demons is one…
Reading Time: 4 minutesQuestion 08100 If marriage and family are high-value targets for the enemy, the local church is the highest-value target of all. The church is the body of Christ on earth (1 Corinthians 12:27), the temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 3:16), and the pillar and buttress of the truth (1 Timothy 3:15). A healthy,…
Reading Time: 4 minutesQuestion 08098 Marriage is one of the most significant institutions God has established, and it should come as no surprise that it is also one of the enemy’s primary targets. The union of husband and wife reflects the relationship between Christ and the Church (Ephesians 5:31-32), which means that every healthy Christian marriage is, in…
Reading Time: 4 minutesQuestion 08099 The family, like marriage, is a creation ordinance established before the Fall and central to God’s purposes in the world. God chose to structure human life around families, and the patterns of faith transmission, moral formation, and relational security that healthy families provide are irreplaceable. It follows that the family is a high-value…
Reading Time: 3 minutesQuestion 08095 The idea that one-third of the angels fell with Satan is one of the most widely repeated claims in popular Christian teaching. It appears in sermons, books, and study guides with such regularity that many believers assume it is a plainly stated biblical fact. The reality is more textured than that. There is…
Reading Time: 3 minutesQuestion 08096 The question of whether one is under spiritual attack is one that many Christians ask with genuine anxiety, and it deserves a thoughtful answer rather than either a dismissive wave or an overheated diagnosis. The Bible takes spiritual warfare seriously. Ephesians 6:12 is explicit that the believer’s struggle “is not against flesh and…
Reading Time: 4 minutesQuestion 10156 The Bible traces Satan’s story from his original exaltation to his final, irreversible doom. He is not an eternal being in the way God is eternal, and his freedom to oppose God’s purposes is both temporary and bounded. Scripture tells us with remarkable clarity exactly what happens to him in the end, and…
Reading Time: 2 minutesQuestion 08088 James 4:7 is one of the best-known verses on spiritual conflict: “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” The promise in the second half is frequently quoted, but the condition in the first half tends to receive less attention. The sequence is not accidental. Before the…
Reading Time: 3 minutesQuestion 08084 The Bible presents Satan as genuinely active in relation to human sin: not a mere symbol of moral evil but a personal, intelligent adversary with specific strategies and identifiable methods.
