“The Devil Made Me Do It!”

Colossians 2:6-15 (NLT)

  1. Human Thinking

Yes, the devil and his demons tempt us to sin. But “the devil made me do it” is far too often used to excuse our own bad choices.

Genesis 3:12 (NLT)

James 1:13-15 The Passion Translation (TPT)

13 When you are tempted don’t ever say, “God is tempting me,” for God is incapable of being tempted by evil and he is never the source of temptation. 14 Instead it is each person’s own desires and thoughts that drag them into evil and lure them away into darkness. 15 Evil desires give birth to evil actions. And when sin is fully mature it can murder you!

  1. High-sounding Nonsense
  • Jesus disarmed the spiritual powers of this world and held them up as an example for all who would follow Him.

Luke 10:19 New Living Translation (NLT)

Matthew 18:18 English Standard Version (ESV)

Matthew 18:18 The Passion Translation (TPT)

 “The Devil Made Me Do It!” =  FAKE NEWS!

The devil can’t make a follower of Jesus do anything!

Ephesians 4:14 New Living Translation (NLT)06
