I know some you are yet ignorant of Satan's device biblically, and when you read this information please don't be offended but rather give place in your mind to think.
There are many devices of Satan we have encountered daily but in this articles I'll show you his greatest and very powerful trick that people may not even recognize its true content and have fallen into it. This was also proclaimed once during the transformation of ancient Roman religion into Christianity by Emperor Constantine the great in 306-337 AD. But before to that, at around 246 years later, Satan was first revealed through the appearance of Roman emperor Nero who bear the number of the beast 666. He was the man of sin that prophesied by Paul and slaughtered thousands of Christians in the period around 60-68 AD.
Nero at that time was the Antichrist and revealed himself as God by pronouncing his power. And when this revelation of Satan was over, the Roman empire reign throughout the ages until he transformed himself into light as it was also been prophesied;
This time the Antichrist who was Satan became Pro-Christ in the rule of Emperor Constantine. A total transformation has made and begun to deceive people by his new ways. But the Bible has warned the readers about this and make a seal that Satan's righteousness can be determined by looking their stand which is according to their works.
When we say "their works", there are many things can be considered as "their works" like the works with respect to their own man made law. But biblically, the phrase "their works" is interpreted as "their own works or mine own works". It refers to the works of righteousness which people do by their own effort. And it means, God gave them chance to be righteous of their own.
And this "own works" which they have done is the righteousness which is of the law.
And this righteousness which is of the law, is the law of Moses which he described.
It is because these people are ignorant of the new law which was established by Christ in the mount of Calvary. They don't know the difference between the law of Moses and the law of Christ, that the law of Moses was made for the unrighteous men whereas the law of Christ was made for a new man.
And if Moses described his law that man should obey, then Jesus also.
But they wont either accept that the law of Moses has ended when Christ established his law that bears the righteousness of God.
And that people must fulfill his law with much confidence.
You know why we should only fulfill the Law of Christ?
It is because the Law of Christ is;
1. Cannot disannul
2. A better Covenant
3. An Everlasting Covenant
Whereas the Law of Moses was;
1. Proven faulty
2. Made old by God
3. Diminished by Christ
4. Totally ended and changed by Christ
But sad to say; billions are still keeping the Law of Moses and the discontentment in Christ's Law appears in their eyes. They thought that these two covenants can be more effective if both be observed. And the reason behind was because of Satan's transformation into a minister of light. But the minister of Christ's law says;
This is how the trick of Satan works, he used the law of God itself to deceive people. It seems effective and it looks like lights, but actually not if you stand on the solid foundation which is Christ.
Study this and remember, Jesus says........

- 2 Thessalonians 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
Nero at that time was the Antichrist and revealed himself as God by pronouncing his power. And when this revelation of Satan was over, the Roman empire reign throughout the ages until he transformed himself into light as it was also been prophesied;
- 2 Corinthians 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
This time the Antichrist who was Satan became Pro-Christ in the rule of Emperor Constantine. A total transformation has made and begun to deceive people by his new ways. But the Bible has warned the readers about this and make a seal that Satan's righteousness can be determined by looking their stand which is according to their works.
- 2 Corinthians 11:15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to "their works".
When we say "their works", there are many things can be considered as "their works" like the works with respect to their own man made law. But biblically, the phrase "their works" is interpreted as "their own works or mine own works". It refers to the works of righteousness which people do by their own effort. And it means, God gave them chance to be righteous of their own.
- Tit 3:5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
And this "own works" which they have done is the righteousness which is of the law.
- Php 3:9 And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:
And this righteousness which is of the law, is the law of Moses which he described.
- Rom 10:5 For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.
It is because these people are ignorant of the new law which was established by Christ in the mount of Calvary. They don't know the difference between the law of Moses and the law of Christ, that the law of Moses was made for the unrighteous men whereas the law of Christ was made for a new man.
- Rom 10:3 For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.
- 1Ti 1:9 Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,
- 1 Corinthians 9:21 To them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ,) that I might gain them that are without law.
And if Moses described his law that man should obey, then Jesus also.
- Eph 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
- Rom 10:5 For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.
But they wont either accept that the law of Moses has ended when Christ established his law that bears the righteousness of God.
- Rom 10:4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.
And that people must fulfill his law with much confidence.
- Gal 6:2 Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.
You know why we should only fulfill the Law of Christ?
It is because the Law of Christ is;
1. Cannot disannul
- Gal 3:17 And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.
2. A better Covenant
- Heb 8:6 But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.
3. An Everlasting Covenant
- Hebrews 13:20 Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant,
Whereas the Law of Moses was;
1. Proven faulty
- Heb 8:7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.
2. Made old by God
- Heb 8:13 In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.
3. Diminished by Christ
- Joh 5:18 Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.
- Joh 7:23 If a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at me, because I have made a man every whit whole on the sabbath day?
- Mat 12:1 At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the corn; and his disciples were an hungred, and began to pluck the ears of corn, and to eat.
- Galatians 5:6 For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.
4. Totally ended and changed by Christ
- Rom 10:4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.
- For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law. - Heb 7:12
But sad to say; billions are still keeping the Law of Moses and the discontentment in Christ's Law appears in their eyes. They thought that these two covenants can be more effective if both be observed. And the reason behind was because of Satan's transformation into a minister of light. But the minister of Christ's law says;
- Galatians 5:4 Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.
This is how the trick of Satan works, he used the law of God itself to deceive people. It seems effective and it looks like lights, but actually not if you stand on the solid foundation which is Christ.
Study this and remember, Jesus says........
- Mat 7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. 15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
