May Memory Verse
2 Corinthians 8:9, "For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ,
that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor,
that ye through his poverty might be rich.”

- The Devil's Religion -

"I question whether anyone is more orthodox than the devil; for the devils believe and tremble. Satan is no skeptic; he has too much knowledge for that." - Charles Spurgeon. 

James 2:19 tells us that Satan and his devils are no atheist! He's not THAT foolish!! 

What exactly does the Devil believe? The Bible clearly tells us a bit about the Devil's "religion."
  1. The Devil Believes In The One And Only True God.
    (James 2:19) He is monotheistic! 
  2. The Devil Believes In The Deity Of Jesus Christ.
    (Mark 3:11)
  3. The Devil Believes In The Reality Of Hell.
    (Luke 8:31) 
  4. The Devil And His Devils Recognize Jesus Authority Over Them.
    (Mark 5:3-13; Job 1:5-12)
  5. The Devil Believes The Bible.
    (Matthew 4:5-6) - Satan quotes the Bible in his temptation of Jesus Christ, twisting God's Word to draw Jesus (and all mankind) out of the will of God. Don't be fooled, the Devil knows the Bible better than any of use.
    (Genesis 3:1) - Satan successfully lures mankind to question God's Word. I cannot find anywhere that the Devil questions God's Word himself.
Satan does not necessary want all of us to be atheists, he simply wants to keep us from trusting and obeying the Lord.

Our response to the Devil's "religion" is to thoroughly submit ourselves to the Lord, and resist the Devil by faith with the "sword" of the spirit, which is the Word of God.
