One of man's greatest questions concerns a person whom no one has seen. Yet, he is real, living, dangerous, and the cause for every evil under the sun. Who is he? The Devil, Satan, Old Scratch, Dragon, and man's Adversary. By whatever name men may call him, the majority of the world is serving him.

"Then the serpent said to the woman, 'You will not surely die. For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil."{Genesis 3:4,5} This is our first introduction to Satan. From the beginning, he placed himself at odds with the God of heaven. This is the position he will always occupy. God is good, and Satan is evil. Whatever God designs to build up, Satan tries to tear down. God and Satan will always be bitter enemies and on opposite sides of any issue.

From the time he first lied to man, he has been an enemy to the welfare of mankind. We need to understand our adversary. Give him his due. Know how he works, what he seeks to accomplish, and how unrelenting he is. In 2 Corinthians 2:11, we are told that if we don't know his devices, he will gain an unfair advantage over us. This makes it extremely important to know all we can about him and his methods. Why? To prepare and equip us for the conflict. To take him for granted and underestimate him is foolish. Sadly, many have made this grievous mistake to their soul's destruction. In this special edition, we seek to shed some light on his character, methods, designs, and strategy. The better we know and understand him, the less effect he has on our lives. Never forget, he will use whatever he can to get us away from God. Take a good look around; he is very good at what he does!
