Yesterday, our Deacon Fellowship at University Baptist Church<\/a> focused on evangelism. Specifically, our Senior Pastor, Dr. Will Rushing<\/a>, provided some specific training that he entitled \u201cThe Pursuit,\u201d noting how God pursues us, using the example of Adam & Eve following their disobedience to His only command when Genesis 3:9 says: \u201cBut the Lord God called to the man, \u2018Where are you?’\u201d<\/p>\n

It made me consider how prior to The Fall, Adam and Eve had \u201cthe perfect job, the perfect marriage, the perfect life, and the perfect relationship with God.\u201d Then, Satan intervened, \u201cDid God really say\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

Here was Satan, who at one time was an angel (Colossians 1:16). At some point before Genesis 3, he rebelled against God. 1 Timothy 3:6 points out that a church overseer should not be a recent convert: \u201c\u2026or he may become conceited and fall under the same judgment as the devil.\u201d<\/p>\n

This indicates the devil\u2019s condemnation was a result of pride, which is consistent with Isaiah 14:13\u201314, where the speaker says, \u201cI will ascend\u2026\u201d, \u201cI will raise my throne\u2026\u201d, and \u201cI will make myself like the Most High.\u201d This language has often been understood as reflecting the pride and rebellion associated with Satan.<\/p>\n

In Luke 10:18, Jesus says, \u201cI saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.\u201d<\/p>\n

And Satan continues to try to convince me every day that I don\u2019t need God, or did God really say\u2026?<\/p>\n

That\u2019s another reason my focus on humility<\/a> for this year is so important.<\/p>\n
