Conclusion of: Is Satan Real?

A practical example. 

Acts 19:19 tells us something enlightening about newly converted Christians in Ephesus:  "Quite a number of those who practiced magical arts brought their books together and burned them up before everybody.   And they calculated their value and found them worth 50,000 pieces of silver."   Those Christians destroyed any objects associated with spiritism, regardless of monetary value. That example can do us a lot of good today.  This world is steeped in the occult and spiritism. Even  spiritistic items and practices   that seem innocent may invite demons influence. It is vital to keep such things out of your life, at any cost. -Deuteronomy  18:10-12. 

Rogelio, mentioned in the opening article of this series, did not believe in the Devil during his first 50 years.  But then he reconsidered his views, why?  "For the first time in my life, I obtained a Bible," recalls Rogelio...  "Knowledge from the Scriptures convinced me that the Devil exists.  That same knowledge now protects me from falling victim to his influence." 

Would you like to see the day when Satan no longer exists?  You can.  The Scriptures foretell a future time when the Devil, who  misleads  so many, will be "hurled into the lake of fire and sulfur." (Revelation 20:10)  Of course, physical fire and sulfur cannot harm an invisible spirit creature. Therefore, the lake of fire  must represent eternal destruction. Satan will be gone forever. What a joyful time that will be for the lovers of God! 

In the meantime, keep learning all you can about Jehovah and his ways." Imagine being alive when it can, at last, truthfully be said, "Satan does not exist!"
