In the book of Genesis man fell into the trap of the serpent by eating of the tree of knowledge of good and evil which had been forbidden to Adam and Eve, thereby causing death and separation between God and man. Adam and Eve were driven out of the Garden of Eden and they never saw God face to face and walked with Him intimately. The serpent was the culprit who led humans away from God and this serpent or snake was Satan himself. As we read in Revelation 12:9, it says, “The great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil or Satan, who leads the whole world astray.” Satan is the destroyer, trying everything he can to ruin our relationship with God.

As we came to the New Testament, Satan didn’t deceived but entered Judas Iscariot directly who later handed Jesus over to his enemies and to be nailed to the cross. Satan assumed that by killing Jesus, Son of God, human beings would be lost in eternal damnation. However, He did us a great favor that has enabled us to receive the salvation of Christ. God reconciled us to himself through Jesus Christ (2 Corinthians 5:18). We are no longer separated from God, but united to him eternally.

What a amazing and wonderful plan God has set up for his children! It looked as we became hopeless if God’s only begotten Son was crucified, but God has turned evil into good.
