In may come as a surprise to you that when Satan tempts the believer, his motivation is not to make us commit a sin. Satan realizes that the regenerated saint has Christ formed in him. It is by this re-wiring that the believer is different from the natural man. The natural man is not drawn to sin because sin is his nature. But for the Christian, sin is not their nature and Satan desires to make us useless to God and to disrupt our new nature. Satan tried to tempt Jesus, but Jesus nature was such that He is both man and divine. This divine nature is what Jesus gives us when we trust in Him and this is what Satan desires to disrupt.
Daily Prayer: Lord, let us live by the power of the Spirit that indwells me. Greater is He that is in me than he who is in the world. Let me walk by faith in Jesus and the Spirit so that I do not fulfill the desires of the flesh. In Jesus name I pray Amen.
