“Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD.” {Deuteronomy 6:4}
One of the things Satan likes to do with the people of God who believe in Him is to have them doubt that there is only one God. The world hates the idea of having only one God because it would mean Jesus. Jesus means they have to turn away from sin and live a righteous life. It would mean denying oneself. Oh, horror! Without self where would we be? How can one become happy? Self therefore is the next best thing to God in man’s life these days. The pursuit of happiness is number one. Without self there is no happiness. So then, how can a man who lives in this world and wants to be successful and accepted by this world, become happy without it? So they hate the name of Jesus because (no surprise here) the god of this world is Satan and he hates Jesus. Satan lies to people. He wants us to believe that we cannot be happy with Jesus and in denying ourselves. He wants us to think it is impossible. But because Jesus has come to oust Satan from his dominion and turn men’s thoughts and ideas of self around, and bring back the glory due to God, Satan hates Jesus. And in turn, the world hates Jesus.
