The god of this World


2 Corinth 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

Blinded by the god of this world, people live in darkness. Satan who was cast out of heaven desires to keep people blinded from seeing the light. He is the god of this world, cultivating the carnal nature of mankind to live after the flesh. Satan is doing all he can to keep people occupied with the things of this world. The pleasures and entertainments of our culture have consumed the lives of people that there is no time to muse on truth. Lest the light of Christ penetrate the hearts of people, the god of this world is at work sowing the seed of disbelief and relevance of God’s word. Christ came to open the blinded eyes of man, but man must want his eyes open. Jesus is the light that is able to pierce the darkness and Satan is doing all he can to keep the light from shining.
