Luke 4:6 And the devil said to Him, "I will give You all this domain and its glory; for it has been handed over to me, and I give it to whomever I wish.
What I find so very interesting about this verse is how our LORD Jesus responds..
Luke 4:8 Jesus answered him, "It is written, 'YOU SHALL WORSHIP THE LORD YOUR GOD AND SERVE HIM ONLY.'"
Jesus did not deny the devil;s domain neither did Jesus say you have no authority to give me the world's glory..
The devil has a dominion, Yes he does, otherwise we would not have to be saved.. We would be asking ourselves .. saved from what???.
He has dominion over the lost and unsaved in the world.. .The devil is often called..The God of this world.... How so, something to consider when you ask the question:
2 Cor 4:4 in whose case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they might not hesr the the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God
Another verse from the Holy Bible..that breaks it down for us..
Saved from what???? let me make it plain the fight is for you soul is on...
And ahhhhh the devil would very much like for you to hang out with him.
Is 5:14 Therefore Sheol (the unseen state, the realm of the dead...HELL ) has enlarged its appetite and opened its mouth without measure;
Too scary????? Hey do not sweat it my brother and sister.. Because:
Luke 10:19 "Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing will injure you.
So you don't want to think about hell or the devil.. much too unpleasant.... and I would not want to hear that a train is coming unless I am stuck on the tracks and in the trains path...
My motivation.. to keep you out of HELL
Here is a link , a true story .. a woman visits HELL and lives to talk about the experience.
