Jesus, the Son of God, defeated Satan, the deceiver, at the cross. The devil was not expecting Jesus to be alive again. He did not know what Christ came to accomplished until he saw the glorious Christ rising alive out of Hades. Christ died on the cross and his body was put in a tomb. […]

Matthew 4:1-11 and Luke 4:1-12 narrate the temptation of the Lord Jesus Christ. Satan tried to entice Jesus to obey and worship him, but Jesus defeated him with “the Sword of the Spirit” – God’s Word. Satan was taking advantage of Christ vulnerability (he was hungry after forty days of fasting) to lure him into making

In the beginning, mankind sinned against God by giving heed to the Serpent, and abandoning God’s way to follow their own way.

The first time Satan is mentioned in the Bible occurs in the book of Genesis, chapter 3. The serpent is described as a very subtle beast. This beast enticed the woman to eat of the forbidden fruit. The woman made the man eat, too. The Serpent used an appealing lie to make the woman fall:

One of Satan’s big lies has always been to make people believe that the Bible is difficult to understand, and that we need theologians to explain its meanings. It is true that the Bible is difficult, but not because its meaning is obscure. It is difficult because it is a spiritual book that deals with

So, according to the Bible, Hades is the abode of the dead. Every person who died before Christ suffered the cross, went to Hades, including His people, the saints of the Old Testament. After the cross, the saints go to Paradise to be with the Lord. That was the work that Christ accomplished with His

The word hell has more to do with pagan nordic European religions than with Christianity. Translators in 1611 translated the word “Hades” from the Greek into “hell” in English.
