Dangerous Ground

We may not be able to prevent the enemy from suggesting doubts to our minds, but he can not compel us to cherish the doubts which he suggests. We are treading upon dangerous ground when we entertain without vigorous protest the views of the enemy of God concerning God's dealings with us. What else can we expect than that he who was cast out of heaven because of his persistent rebellion against the divine government should accuse the King of heaven of partiality and injustice? The real difficulty was that God refused to abdicate his throne in favor of Lucifer—an infinitely impossible thing. Moved by satanic envy and a disappointed ambition, this same being now seeks to blacken the character of God, and to lead us to doubt, then to disbelieve, and finally to reject the loving-kindness of our Heavenly Father. What has Satan done to establish a reputation for truthfulness so that we should rely upon his estimate of God? “When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.” Let us believe God and Christ.
