Satan's Tactics To Tempt People To Sin
Satan managed to get Eve to give in to LUST - the physical and mental desires for things to satisfy us in place of God himself.
• THE LUST OF THE FLESH (physical appetites)
She took and ate the apple
• THE LUST OF THE EYES (desire for things/materialism)
The fruit looked so fresh and delicious
• THE BOASTFUL PRIDE OF LIFE (pride in our achievements)
It would make her so wise
Satan Uses The Same Tactics Today
To lure people into sin today, satan -
• TEMPTS people to REBEL AGAINST GOD'S INSTRUCTIONS
eg to seek their security, self-worth & significance other than in God
• MAKES SIN/REBELLION AGAINST GOD LOOK ATTRACTIVE AND HARMLESS eg by tempting people with glossy adverts to drink to excess
