Question 11

What are some of the devil’s goals and tactics?


Bible

1 Peter 5:8

"Your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walks about seeking whom he may devour."

Revelation 12:13

"When the dragon saw that he was cast out unto the earth, he persecuted the woman."

Revelation 16:14

"They are the spirits of devils working miracles."

Revelation 13:14

"And he deceives them that dwell on the earth by those miracles which he had power to do."

2 Corinthians 11:14

"And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light."

Answer

The devil is seeking to devour anyone he can. He is a persecuting power. He can work miracles. He can even transform himself to appear as an angel of light. (The word “transform” means to change appearance)
