Satan's strategy is simple separation and division. His strategy is to separate you from God. He will tempt you into sin and then immediately, uh, accuse you. He'll make you feel guilty and ashamed so that you won't go back to your loving father, God. Sin separates you from God. Romans 6:23 tells us that the wages of sin is death.

But the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Death is separation from God. Restored relationship with God is life. John 17:3. Now this is eternal life that they may know you, the only true God and Jesus whom you have. There is a battle raging all around us.

A battle of good and evil. A battle for the lives and uh, for the well being of those we love. God has very specific works for you to do. God needs you in this battle. He needs you to learn how to love and he needs you to learn how to fight.

Defeat Satan's strategy of division and separation by forgiving yourself. Do not let yourself be separated from God. When you sin, go running into his lap. Forgive others too. Don't let Satan separate you from God's people.
