Satan's Secret

A driving instructor in Germany was stopped by police after a minor accident with a truck. When asked for his driver's license, he wouldn't not provide one. He had been instructing students fro more than 40 years on how to drive; yet he didn't have his own license! Years earlier, he had failed a driving test, & he was fearful of trying again. He kept this fact a secret out of embarrassment.
Satan also has a secret in his past that he doesn't want to people to learn about His secret? He no longer has the power to separate us from God. Our enemy doesn't want anyone to know this truth because he desire to keep nonbelievers controlled by sin & believers entangled in it.
It's true that because of sin we were separated from God, but when Jesus died on the cross, He bore our sins & took on Himself our punishment of death. God then raised Jesus from the dead, & now He reigns in heaven.
When we trust in what Jesus has done for us, a relationship with God begins & sin no longer has control over us. The apostle Paul wrote, "Sin shall have no dominion over you" (Roman 6:14). We are no longer separated from God. We are set free from bondage (V.18). Satan's secret is out in the open.
God always stands between the Christian & the enemy
