What Satan Really Hates

[Leah]

"Satan always hates Christian fellowship; it is his policy to keep Christians apart. Anything which can divide saints from one another is his delight." - Charles H. Spurgeon


We must not forsake our assembling together, as may be the habit of some. We need to fellowship inside and outside of our local churches and encourage one another to love and good deeds. All the time. Everyday. Do it because God first loved us and gave Himself up for us.

"As Iron sharpens Iron, so one man sharpens another." Proverbs 27:17

It's so true. We are the body of Christ and the body is weak when it is separated into many pieces. The church is one body and it is so important to be able to come alongside one another and encourage one another in our relationship with Christ. Having Brothers and sisters to fight alongside is so valuable and vital to growth in Christ!

Having "local churches" is the very definition of "forsaking our assembling together" . Passing several groups meeting in their places every week in order to go to the same place every week is deliberately fosaking those Christians .

the reason there is such a division within the body of Christ is because denominations are made up by men and not by God, people try to put their philosphy to their congregations instead of following God's guidance.

the more good we as Christians try to achieve, the more Satan will attack. His schemes are not always successful (thank the Lord!) but we do need to be aware. I participated in a bible study about spiritual warfare this past semester, and there was some definite attack from the enemy going on, as we anticipated. Basically anything from God he hates...especially working together when we can achieve so much

Clarify more clearly, please.

Also, remember the Gospel in all your doing and in all your getting, get understanding (Proverbs 4:5 & 7, Ephesians 5:15-17).

If you don't know what God's will is, read Ephesians 1. He wants to gather to Himself the redeemed, His Body and Bride, the Church. =) We do that by seeking to save the lost with the Ten Commandments (lest you plan on being responsible for false converts) and the Gospel of Jesus Christ crucified and resurrected for the forgiveness of sins (Luke 19:10, Galatians 3:24, Luke 24:46-47).
