Resist the Spirit of a Changing World - How Can You Resist it? - Valuable Information! ~ It Means Your Life! ~

(Proverbs 13:20) He that is walking with wise persons will become wise, but he that is having dealings with the stupid ones will fare badly."

???

“We received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is from God.”—1 CORINTHIANS 2:12.

???

“THE serpent—it deceived me.” (Genesis 3:13) With those few words, the first woman, Eve, endeavored to explain why she had embarked on a course of rebellion against Jehovah God. What she said was true, although it did not excuse her wrongdoing. The apostle Paul was later inspired to write: “[Eve] was thoroughly deceived.” (1 Timothy 2:14) 

???

She was deceived into believing that an act of disobedience—eating the forbidden fruit—would benefit her, making her like God. She was also deceived about the identity of the one who deluded her. Little did she know that the serpent was merely a mouthpiece for Satan the Devil.—Genesis 3:1-6.

???

Since the time of Adam and Eve, Satan has continued to deceive people. He is, in fact, “misleading the entire inhabited earth.” (Revelation 12:9) 

???

His tactics have not changed. Though he no longer employs a literal serpent, he continues to conceal his identity. Through parts of the entertainment industry, the media, and other means, Satan misleads people into believing that they neither need nor benefit from God’s loving direction. 

???

The Devil’s campaign of deception has produced in people everywhere a spirit of rebellion against Bible laws and principles. The Bible calls this “the spirit of the world.” (1 Corinthians 2:12) 

???

This spirit powerfully influences the beliefs, attitudes, and behavior of those who do not know God. How is that spirit manifested, and how can we resist its corrupting influence? Let us see. 

???

(Proverbs 22:17) Incline your ear and hear the words of the wise ones, that you may apply your very heart to my knowledge."

???

(Acts 4:13) Now when they beheld the outspokenness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were men unlettered and ordinary, they got to wondering. And they began to recognize about them that they used to be with Jesus."

???

(Hebrews 10:24) And let us consider one another to incite to love and fine works."
