Aren’t Christians Supposed to Crush Satan?
Romans 16:20 “The God of peace will soon
crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.”
In Romans 16:20, God is promising the church victory over
Satan, whereas before, in Genesis 3:15 God told Satan “I
will put enmity between you and the woman, and
between your offspring and her offspring; he
shall bruise your head, and
you shall bruise his heel.”
This is obviously communicated figuratively because we are
not going to physically stomp on Satan’s kingdom, although, what is stopping us
from having victory over him in our minds, our bodies, our homes, and our
churches, and why should we stop there?
Many Christians are limited in there battlefields because
they believe that the earth will be handed over to Satan while the righteous
are taken to heaven, but that is not true; we are to fill the earth and subdue
it, which includes our schools, our businesses, our laws, and even the government
--- that’s a long way away, maybe even a revolution away but “If God is for us,
who can be against us?”
What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be
against us?
