Preface :
If people disguised as something , surely , that person makes himself exactly the sama as it is ! If people disguised as police officer, would has been the person to makes hilself exactly with the police , so that unknown emunerated by others that he was undercover . It is same when the devil into an angle of light , he will makes himself exactly as the angle of light , even whatever was done by the angle of light, imitated also by th devil so that people will be fooled ! The Bible says :
"There is nothing astonishing in this ; even satan disguises himself as an angle of light ." ( 2 Corinthians 11 : 14 , New Jerusalem Bible )
"There is nothing astonishing in this ; even satan disguises himself as an angle of light ." ( 2 Corinthians 11 : 14 , New Jerusalem Bible )
In addition, each disguise has a goal ! Similarly disguise of the devil , has a purposes namely to dissociate people from God's grace .From the beginning the devil is intended to separate people from God, with the intention that people believe or worship him. Whether his efforts were successful ? Yes , God allowed his efforts were successful . See the evidence in ancient time in which only the Israelites who believed and worshiped God while other nations do not !
In fact, if Gos is willing , all people can be made by Him to believe and worship Him. But He did not do it ! That is why not everyone believes and worship Him . According to the theory of free will , it is absolutely on the will of man , refused to believe or not ? ( see Jhon 8 : 24 ) . But according to the theory of the will of God , it absolutely depends on the will of God ( see Jhon 6 : 44 ) . But here we are not talking about both theories . What we discuss is how the devil disguised as an angle of light so that people believe or worship him .
How the devil disguised as an angle of light ?
Of course , if the devil disguised as an angle of light , all the attributes of God imitated so that people are not aware that he was believing or worshiping the devil .
(1). God teaches love , the devil also teaches love ! Because if he teaches a crime , it would appear that he is the devil. and people do not want to believe or worship him . So , a big mistakes if there are people who say that the devil teaches crime . Why so ? If the devil teaches the crime, no one want to follow him ! As an advertising always echoed goodness advertised product , as well as the devil always carries a kindness so that people want to follow him . The devil will to rejects what the Bible says :
"Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us ....." ( Titus 3 : 5 King James Version Bible )
"Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us ....." ( Titus 3 : 5 King James Version Bible )
(2) God likes to give aid , the devil also likes to give aids ! The proof , many people who use charms and spells to ask for help , which is always in the name of God . when it was not ! Here man fooled because the devil is always deceptives in the name of God ! ( compare to Deuteronomy 18 : 10 - 11 )
(3). God was able to gives the blessing , the devil too ! The proof , many people obtain the blessing even if he did not worship the true God ! ( Act. 16 : 16 ) . Even the devil was ever offered the world's wealth to Jesus if He would worship him ( Matthew 4 : 8 - 9 ) This is the proof that the devil has power to gives the blessing .
(4) God can perform miracles and miraculous signs , as well as the devil ! The proof , many people seek healing is not from God but from the devil disguised as God !
"For there shall arise false Christ , and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders ; insomuch that, is it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect ." ( Matthew 24 : 24 King James Version Bible )
"For there shall arise false Christ , and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders ; insomuch that, is it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect ." ( Matthew 24 : 24 King James Version Bible )
In short , what is being done by God , done also by the devil so that people fooled and believe or worshiped him . An indeed , if we look at the Bible , the Bible never records that the devil is criminal . That there is that he is the father of con ! Abosolutely correct ! He is a imposter ! He makes man fooled !
A trick of the devil about the Christ's saving work :
Above has explained that in his disguise as an angle of light , the devil also teaches good deeds . Yes , if he teaches crime, of course unmasked as a demon ! He should be as similar as possible to the angle of light so that people deceived by him . Therefore his agents in the world was to be disguised as a servant of truth .
" It is nothing extraordinary , then , when his servants disguise themselves as the servants of uprightness ... " ( 2 Corinthians 11 : 15 , New Jerusalem Bible )
It is very dangerous if we are dealing with the servants of demon , who serves as his agent in the world . They masquerable as servants of righteousness , but of the mission is the mission of the devil . Indeed in the disguise it the devil has a primary mission , namely to thward the salvation of people who believe in the Christ's saving work on the cross. There is no other way for the devil except to teaches the virtues so people think that this teaching comes from God . The Bible says :
" Because it is by grace that you have been saved, through faith ; not by anything of your own , but by a gift from God ; not by anything that you have done, so that nobody can claim the credit ." ( Ephesians 2 : 8 - 9 New Jerusalem Bible ) .
In this case the devil tried to deflect the faith of believers so that did not believe in the Christ's saving work. In the Bible, bending it come from the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees . Regarding the teaching of the Torah expert , the Bible says :
"...The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses seat . All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe , that observe and do ...... ( Matthew 23 : 2 - 3 KJV )
" Then understood they how that He bade them not beware of the leaven of bread , but of the doctrine of the Pharasees and of the Sadducees , " ( Matthew 16 : 12 , KJV )
Take a good look ! On the one hand Jesus said that we must obey and do what is taught by Torah expert and the Pharisees. It is clear that we must follow and we are doing is what they teach about the good deeds . But on other hand Jesus said that we must guard against their teaching . Which teaching ?!
Regarding a good deeds in all its form their teaching about good deeds , indeed we must do it ! But remember , they do not believe to Jesus and reject Jesus as Lord and savior . They do not believe that salvation comes only through Christ ! They though and taught that salvation comes through the law of the Torah , that by doing good deeds ! Its meaning that salvation comes from human effort , not by grace !
That is why Jesus warned us to be wary of their teaching . Is right and not wrong when they teach about good deeds and me must do it . But to be incorrect and wrong to say that salvation is obtained from good deeds !Whereas the Christian's salvation is indicative imperative , meaning that we do good deeds not to be saved , but because we have been saved !
"For ye are bought with a price ; ( indicative ) , therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, (imperative ) , which are God's." ( 1 Corinthians 6 : 20 King James Version Bible )
In the teaching of Torah expert here firmly attached to the devil deception to obscure the meaning of grace . Everywhere , he called the good deeds in all its form with the promise of eternal salvation . Did he succeed ? Yes, they did it ! The proof , until now there are many people who do not believe in the Christ's saving work as the one only way to salvation .
All doctrines was born out of the trick of the devil . The goal is to shink or obscure the Christ's saving work on the cross . Why are so many people fooled ? Because of his teaching is true and good ! Teaching make sense ! His teaching are easy. to digest . If we work certainly obtain payment . If we try to definitely succeed .Similarly if we we do good deeds certainly obtain salvation . But the Bible does not teach like that ! The Bible does not use a system of meritocracy of the world system ! The Bible talks about the grace , a free gift without effort . The Bible says :
" Ho de dikaios ek pisteos zesetai ( Anyone who is upright through faith will live ) Romans 1 : 17 ; Greek Modern Text - New Jerusalem Bible .
Conclusion
Do not need to go far ! Judaism teach that salvation is obtained from good deeds to obey the law of Torah . Why so ? Because they do not believe to the Lord Jesus and do not require the work of His cross. Similarly the devil always trying to eliminate Christ's saving Work . His weapon ? None other than the teaching of good deeds .
It is inevitable that every person who rejects the grace that free , always leaned his salvation on his own effort through the good deeds. Throughout the teaching of good deeds the devil hoped that Christ's saving work vanished ! Just like the psychology of advertising where a lie is continuously voiced , then over time it will sound like a righteousness .
Do you know that our goodness not fulfil the standards of God ? Thus if our kindness was calculated to obtain salvation , really , our goodness were not worth , even just for the female mentrual cloth !
"But we are all as an unclean thing , and all our righteousness are as filthy rags ; and we all do fade as a leaf and our iniquities like the wind have taken us away ." ( Isaiah 64 : 6 King James Version Bible )
Therefore do not believe to the devil hoax ! Keep believing that only Christ's saving work on the cross that saved us as the sound of joint declaration following :
"Together we confess : By grace alone , in faith in Christ's saving work and not because of any merit on our part , we are accepted by God and received the Holy Spirit who renews our hearts while equipping and calling us to good works . " ( Part III of the Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification , between the Roman Catholic Church and Protestant that represented by Lutheran World Federation , Ausburg , October 31 , 1999 ) .
