Since Adam's sin, humanity has had problems with opposition from the devil, who makes men give up their projects or postpone their start because they feel incapable of accomplishing them. The enemy exploits people, even though he was defeated by Jesus. The devil should no longer touch anyone, but he pretends to be strong so that no one can excel in life. The solution is to turn to the Word of God!

So, let's make this very clear, so that everyone can be set free. First: the devil was defeated by Christ in his lair. Second: Christ rose again after stripping Satan, his princes, and the lower class of Hell and leaving them there until they were thrown into the lake of fire and brimstone (Revelations 20:10), from which they will not come out. Third: preaching the Good News—the Gospel will cause people to stand before God and, with power, command the defeat of the kingdom of the evil one!

When humanity began to rise from the fall and spread throughout the world, the adversary and his angels dominated the generations that followed Adam. Cain killed Abel and still had the task of helping to populate the Earth, but because he had committed such a crime, God waited for the generation of Seth to fulfill His plan. Death, the nature of Satan, dominated the world, but from Seth came those who would take the place of righteous Abel, who left no descendants. Man became evil!

After a few centuries, human beings became completely corrupt, ceasing to seek the Lord and prioritizing worldly things. However, God chose Noah (Genesis 6:6) to warn everyone that He would destroy the world with water, but people mocked this servant of the Lord, as if it would never happen. Noah took 120 years to build the ark of salvation, but during that time, he was mocked and made fun of. When he finished the construction, besides his family, he placed seven pairs of each animal on the great boat, and then the Flood came.

To help man not to err, the Most High created the Mosaic Law, so that the people could be right with Him and live in His presence. Later, through the prophets and the Psalms, God made revelations that would improve the human condition before Him. The Law was not ideal, but it had to be obeyed until the coming of His Son, who would take our place in order to save us from the empire of death. The heavenly Father began to announce the birth of Christ!

Through Isaiah, the Lord declared that He hastily made the clauses of the Law so that people would live by them and benefit from them. As for the coming of Jesus, there was no hurry, for it would be a work of quality that would last forever. The New Covenant was established in the blood of the Savior shed on the cross, when He paid the price for our sins and the suffering we would go through. Today, whoever hears the Gospel and believes in Jesus becomes free from the devil's actions.

The Master commanded His disciples to preach the Good News: And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. (Mark 16.15,16). Therefore, to those who read this message, I advise you to examine yourselves and see if your entrance into the Kingdom of Heaven is certain. Accept Jesus as your Savior and Lord now!

In Christ, with love,
