Understanding Satan's Origin, Role, and Defeat According to the Bible
In this episode of the Middletown Baptist Church Podcast, Pastor Josh guides listeners through an in-depth Bible study on the origin, actions, and ultimate defeat of Satan. Starting with Satan's creation as an angelic being and his fall due to pride, Pastor Josh examines various biblical passages to explain Satan's ongoing attempts to thwart God's plans. Key scriptures from Revelation, Isaiah, Ezekiel, Genesis, Matthew, and Romans are discussed, shedding light on Satan's character as a tempter and deceiver. The study concludes with the ultimate victory of Jesus over Satan and a reflection on the importance of Christians remaining vigilant and grounded in their faith.
