In order to trick God’s people, Satan continuously works to divert their attention. We are aware of how the devil kept Adam and Even off the Lord’s path by separating them from him. As the “father of lies,” he is well-known.
According to the Bible, Satan is still making every effort to keep God’s children separated from their purpose. As we make decisions for our lives today, we should be knowledgeable enough. If we let Satan work in our life, we will be quite susceptible to his snares.
After his baptism, Jesus faced Satan as well, and by using the word of God, he was able to prevail. To defeat Satan’s deception, we ought to apply the scripture.
For the information to defeat Satan’s diversion, let’s look at the following verses. The following scriptures will assist us in understanding how Satan operates in our lives and the steps we should take to maintain our attention on Jesus.
