Deep Things of God versus Deep Things of Satan
“But to us, God revealed them through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.” (1 Corinthians 2:10 WEB)
“But to you I say, to the rest who are in Thyatira, as many as don’t have this teaching, who don’t know what some call ‘the deep things of Satan,’ to you I say, I am not putting any other burden on you.” (Revelation 2:24 WEB)
There are deep things of God and there are deep things of Satan. These two are polar opposites.
The deeper you go into each one, you access more exclusive benefits and consequences that people don’t usually receive.
The deep things of Satan usually appeal to the flesh—meaning fast and tangible benefits to attract the initiate into going deeper.
This means that material wealth, lustful pleasures, power, influence and supernatural abilities for manipulation and destruction are some of the benefits. These things appeal to the flesh, to a person who is carnally minded.
On the other hand, the deep things of God are things of the spirit and requires faith to access.
The fullness of its benefits cannot be experienced in this lifetime, but only in the Millennium and beyond, whereby the believer receives positions of honor.
Pursuing the deep things of God allows one to access the miraculous power of God through the Holy Spirit.
Maturing in the deep things of God leads to life and life more abundantly, but maturing in the deep things of Satan leads to sin bearing the fruit of death.
Will you trade your soul for temporary pleasures of sin, or place your faith in Jesus to have eternal life?
If you are already a born-again believer, you’re already saved and can never lose your salvation.
However there will still be a difference in eternal rewards between Christians.
There’s no such thing as a standardized ‘rewards package’ that every believer will receive.
The apostles Paul and Peter compared the Christian life to a race. Will you stroll along in the race and be content just to finish, or will you run like a well-trained competitive athlete to win a top prize?
Pursue the deep things of God and you’ll receive amazing eternal rewards that will last forever!
