       Jesus said the following in John’s Gospel, and I think it is pivotal here. “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy” Jesus said referring to Satan. But he says, “I came that they may have life and have it abundantly” (John 10:10, ESV). Satan wants to steal from us, to steal our life. He wants to kill us. And he wants to destroy us, to destroy our lives. Before, back at the time we were unbelievers, we didn’t realize that. Some of us thought that Satan was good. We thought his ways were really the good, fun, life-giving ways. Now, though, we are ashamed of those ways. Or, at least, we should be. Jesus continually, daily gives us good, optimistic, hopeful life. We can either progress in our rebellion, or we can progress in our life of sanctification. We can only be moving in one or the other direction.
