THE MORE YOU STUDY THE BIBLE RIGHTLY DIVIDED, THE MORE YOU SEE SATAN’S DECEPTION

INTRODUCTION

The Bible is a perfect Book—but man’s mishandling of it is not. Paul told us to “rightly divide the word of truth” (2 Tim. 2:15), because failure to do so opens the door to confusion, corruption, and deception.

Satan does not fight the Bible—he fights the understanding of the Bible (Gen. 3:1).
The more a believer studies Scripture according to God’s dispensational design, the more clearly he sees:

Satan’s subtle strategies
The religious world’s widespread confusion
God’s spiritual program for today

Right division is not optional—
It is spiritual protection.

CONCLUSION

Right division is not a denomination.
It is not an opinion.
It is God’s command for Bible understanding.

The more you rightly divide:

The clearer the Bible becomes
The smaller the contradictions appear
The more obvious Satan’s deception looks

Right division is spiritual eyesight.
Wrong division is spiritual blindness.

CALL TO ACTION

Study your Bible daily—rightly divided.
Guard your mind from deception.
Stand firm in the gospel of grace.
Share Paul’s message boldly.

FINAL THOUGHTS

The Bible is perfect.
Man’s interpretation is not.
Satan attacks truth subtly.
Religion mixes law and grace.
Paul reveals the mystery.
Prophecy and mystery must not mix.
Right division protects doctrine.
Spiritual deception is everywhere.
Only truth rightly divided exposes Satan.
