遵守神的律法会使你成为撒但的目标。很抱歉给你带来坏消息，但这是事实，而且完全合理。撒但无法无天。撒但——就是巨龙、蛇、诱惑者——背叛了神，而神是正直公义的，祂把祂的律法写进了宇宙。

撒但知道谁是基督的跟随者。我们就是“那守神诫命的”，和为耶稣作见证的。我们不是穿着道德的伪装。我们被认出是基督的门徒，因为我们的目标是按着神爱的律法来生活。

因此，撒但一直在追赶我们。牠引诱我们、嘲笑我们。“什么，你认为你需要在性上保持纯洁？太天真了！”“你认为你需要每周给神一天的时间？你永远不会出人头地。”“你认为你需要说实话，即使是在互联网上？不，网上社交不一样的。”撒但引诱我们的方式是无止境的。自从牠破坏了神的律法后，牠就寻找其他人加入牠的叛乱。而当我们离开神的真理之路，听信撒但的谎言时，就会落入这种情况。

只要你在世活着，撒但就会试图引诱你离开神。如果我们无视或违背神的律法，我们就会远离神。这就是我们生命中的争战。

Obeying God’s law will make you a target of Satan. Sorry to bring bad news, but it is true, and it makes sense. Satan is the lawless one. Satan—the great dragon, the serpent, the tempter—rebelled against God, who is right and just, who wrote his law into the universe.

Satan knows who all the followers of Christ are. We are “those who keep God’s commands” and hold to the testimony about Jesus. We are not wearing moral camouflage. We are recognized as followers of Christ because we aim to live by God’s law of love.

So Satan is constantly after us. He tempts us. He mocks us. “What, you think you need to be sexually pure? How naïve.” “You think you need to give one day a week to God? You’ll never get ahead.” “You think you need to tell the truth, even when you’re online? No, online communication is different.” There is no end to the ways Satan can tempt us. Ever since he broke the law of God, he searches for others to join his rebellion. And that happens when we leave the path of God’s truth and follow the lies of Satan.

As long as you live, Satan will tempt you to turn away from God. And we turn away if we ignore or disobey God’s law. This is the battle of our lives.
