Understanding the Human Condition: Why We Don't Become Devils, and the Path to Redemption

Do people really think they can 'become a devil'? Let's explore this question in the context of reality and faith, focusing on the nature of devils, the appeal of 'turning to the devil', and the path to human redemption.

Devils and Fallen Angels: Fictional or Real?

It's important to clarify that devils and demons, as described in myth and folklore, do not exist in the realm of reality. These beings are part of fictional tales and religious texts. However, the concept of 'turning to the devil' for power, wealth, or knowledge is a real issue in modern society.

The Appeal of Surrendering to the Devil

Many people believe that by 'turning to the devil'—understanding it metaphorically as embracing dark and destructive behaviors—they can gain certain worldly advantages. This mentality is particularly prevalent in a society that has largely adopted a satanic mindset, driven by a 'Do as you will' philosophy. Such a mindset encourages people to prioritize personal gain over ethical considerations, often at the expense of others.

The Nature of Demons and Fallen Angels

Demons are believed to be highly deceptive, malicious, and powerful entities. They are often associated with satanic rituals and practices that seek to control human minds, souls, and bodies. These entities are known for their malevolent intentions, aiming to lead people away from God and into eternal damnation.

Examples of Human Behaviors Associated with Demonic Influence

Behaviors that are often linked to demonic influence include: Addiction to porn, bestiality, sadomasochism, violence, homosexuality, serial adultery, fornication, prostitution, sex trafficking, voyeurism, and serial killing. Drug and alcohol addiction. Sexual perversions of every sort.

God’s Love and the Path to Redemption

Despite this darkness, there is a message of hope and redemption. According to Christian faith, God, the Creator and Sustainer of the universe, has immense love for all humans. He desires to have a personal relationship with each individual.

Sin and Its Impact

Sin, as defined by God, encompasses any thought, word, or action that goes against His attributes, character, and ethics. Ultimately, sin results in death. However, it's important to note that God never intended for anyone to endure an eternal separation from Him, and He offers a way to overcome sin and enjoy eternal life.

The Path to Redemption

The path to redemption involves accepting God's offer of salvation through Jesus Christ. Jesus, the Son of God, became human to take on the role of the perfect sinless Man. Despite unjustly suffering and dying on the cross, Jesus rose from the dead, demonstrating ultimate authority and power over sin.

Through faith in Jesus, believers can experience the transformative experience of being 'born again'—having their spirit made alive in God. They receive eternal life and the presence of the Holy Spirit, ensuring a close and personal relationship with God.

Final Words and Call to Action

God's Holy Word, the Bible, provides this message of hope and redemption. Jesus explicitly states in John 14:6, 'I am the Way and the Truth and the Life; no one comes to the Father except through me.' This invitation is open to all who seek to follow Him.

Take the first step towards a new life. I promise that seeking Jesus and the truth He brings will not be a regret in your life.
