“The serpent was the craftiest of all the creatures the Lord God had made. So the serpent came to the woman. “Really?” he asked. “None of the fruit in the garden? God says you mustn’t eat any of it?” “Of course we may eat it,” the woman told him. “It’s only the fruit from the tree at the center of the garden that we are not to eat. God says we musn’t eat it or even touch it, or we will die.” “That’s a lie! the serpent hissed. “You’ll not die! God knows very well that the instant you eat it you will become like Him, for your eyes will be opened – you will be able to distinguish good and evil!” Genesis 3v1-5 (TLB)

As believers, it is important to know what the Word of God says. In the Scripture above, the devil came to Eve and deceived her. There are many things that are being said today or even arguments we might be having with ourselves which have the appearance of godliness and wisdom, but do not align with the Word of God. A lot of – really, God said that! Or, are you sure God meant it like that? Or, surely the consequences are not as bad as they are being presented! The Bible tells of the Berean Jews that “Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.” (Acts 17v11, NIV). Beloved, are you going back to check if what is being said to you is true? The devil also came to the Lord Jesus, but each time, our Lord will reply Him with the Word of God. Beloved, how will you be able to contend with the devil and every form of knowledge and philosophies out there if you do not know what is written?
