The Christadelphians #16 Jesus and the Devil

**[Inspiring]**We are absolutely thrilled to share this outstanding and thought-provoking exposition on one of the most pivotal and revealing subjects in all of Scripture: the true nature of the Devil and Satan. As Christadelphians, we are committed to a careful, verse-by-verse examination of God's Word, and this chapter—Chapter 16 from our series on what we believe and preach—offers a wonderfully insightful look at a topic that is so often misunderstood.This presentation is a wonderful journey through the New Testament, guided by the original Greek and Hebrew, to uncover the real meaning behind the words *diabolos* and *Satan*. We explore the profound and often-overlooked truth that the Old Testament is completely silent on a personal, supernatural devil, and that the emphasis of the New Testament points us to a powerful, revelatory conclusion: the devil is the personification of human sinfulness, the lusts of the flesh, and the corporate wickedness of the world.Join us as we trace this compelling thread through Scripture, from the temptation in the wilderness to the ultimate victory of Christ. We examine how Jesus, by partaking of flesh and blood, destroyed him that had the power of death—that is, the devil—and how His sinless life broke the power of sin and opened the way to salvation. This is a truly inspiring and clarifying study that will strengthen your understanding of the Gospel and the nature of the battle we all face.---### 📖 Chapters- 00:00 - Introduction: The Importance of the Subject- 01:01 - Understanding the Greek Words: Diabolos, Satan, and More- 05:04 - The Old Testament's Silence on a Supernatural Devil- 10:53 - The New Testament's Emphasis: Jesus and the Devil- 14:13 - The Temptation of Christ and the Nature of the Conflict- 16:06 - The Source of Temptation: The Flesh and its Lusts- 18:45 - The Works of the Flesh and the Works of the Devil- 20:44 - The Connection Between Flesh, Sin, Death, and the Devil- 21:24 - Christ's Victory Over Sin and the Devil- 24:09 - How the Devil Has the Power of Death- 25:35 - The Unbreakable Link: Lust, Flesh, Devil, Sin, and Death- 28:22 - The Devil as the Sinfulness of Man- 29:14 - Wider Meanings of Satan: Adversary and Accuser- 33:20 - The Revelation of the Dragon and the Serpent- 34:07 - Answering the Questions: Why No Supernatural Satan?- 36:53 - The Nature of Angels and the Final Destruction of the Devil- 38:20 - Satan as the Sum Total of Mortality and Wickedness- 41:24 - Examining Key Passages: Ephesians 2 and the Prince of the Power of the Air- 46:27 - The Prince of This World Cast Out: Christ's Ultimate Triumph- 47:34 - The Gospel's Power to Turn From Satan to God- 50:47 - Conclusion and Final Encouragemen- 📖 **John 6:70** —- 📖 **Hebrews 2:14-15** —- 📖 **Romans 7:17-25** —- 📖 **Galatians 5:17-21** —- 📖 **1 John 2:16-17** — - 📖 **1 John 3:8** — - 📖 **James 1:13-15** — - 📖 **Romans 5:12** —- 📖 **John 8:44** —- 📖 **Revelation 20:10** — Christadelphian, Bible Study, What is the Devil, Satan in the Bible, Jesus and Satan, Temptation of Christ, Sin and Death, Human Nature, Bible Truth, Scriptural Exposition, Bible Teaching, Faith, Salvation, Gospel of Christ, Bible Prophecy, Overcoming Sin, Christ's Victory, Bible Questions Answered, Biblical Hermeneutics, Old Testament, New TestamentWe are a Christadelphian team, Brothers and sisters of Christ, and we're passionate about delivering powerful, Scripture-based content to strengthen and inspire your faith journey.
