Some current movies address this issue. Several TV shows have built their story lines around the existence of advanced civilizations – as well as more primitive ones. The number of such shows and movies is rapidly increasing. These ideas are all based on the “theory” of evolution, which assumes that what we have on earth has also occurred elsewhere. Of course, this theory completely leaves out God and the Bible.

Despite what the media says, it is important to understand what the Bible says about these things. To answer the question briefly: Yes, there are aliens here – beings that did not originate on this planet.

The Bible calls them demons and fallen angels. They are created beings that once lived in Heaven, and they were perfect. Rebellion against God caused them to be removed from Heaven and placed on earth.

The Bible reveals that their continued rebellion against God thrives on this planet, being led by a powerful being called Satan. They learned that they cannot hurt God, so they aim to destroy what matters to God here. God wants people to be saved from sin and live forever. Satan and his forces work hard to deceive people so that as many as possible will go to Hell – with him.

To accomplish this task, his primary tool is deceit. Revelation 12:9 says: “And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.”

To combat his lies, God has given us His Bible. All truth from God is found in Jesus Christ and the Bible (John 14:6). It exposes the lies of the “alien” forces bent on opposing God. One of the Devil’s lies is that people think they are alright with God just because they have a Bible and go to church. Unfortunately, it is not true.

In the last blog post, it was mentioned that believers in Christ are engaged in a war. It is not a war with physical weapons, but one of the heart and mind.

Satan and his hordes constantly seek to weaken the impact that Christians have in their lives and in the world. There are many ways he tries to do this.

Christians can become so busy with daily activities that they forget about “seeking first the kingdom of God.” The same activities can cause believers to cease being “sober” or “vigilant.”

At the same time, they can forget that Satan is seeking to “devour” you. All he wants to do is to make you ineffective in the kingdom of God and to destroy your joy and testimony. When you lose your focus on the war, you become ineffective and powerless to accomplish anything for God. You have become a casualty in Christian warfare. There is no victory for you.

If you are reading this and believe that you have become a powerless casualty, you can be restored quickly and made useful again to God in this spiritual war. Simply confess the sin to God, ask His forgiveness and He will give it. Then, start doing what you know He wants you to do as given in the Bible and ask for His help to do it. Victory in Jesus is still available to those who want it.

There is a lot of confusion in the world about Jesus Christ. The biggest question of all is Who is Jesus Christ?

Sadly, even among professing believers there are considerable answers to this question. The biggest reason for this ignorance is a lack of understanding the Bible.

Paul makes the argument in the verses above that the Gospel – that which can save the soul from Hell – is hid from those who need it. The Gospel consists of the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ for sinners, which is how He paid for our sins and can save the soul. Paul also explains who needs it – “the lost.” That is, those who do not know Christ as their Savior yet.

The “god of this world” is the evil one – Satan. He and his evil cohorts are constantly busy seeking to prevent people from understanding the Gospel, as well as making it so that they never hear it. One of the ways he does this is by keeping people too busy to think about their eternity.

In these two verses, the Apostle also explains that Jesus is God and He wants to give them “light” – which means truth and understanding of the truth.

Have you believed on Jesus Christ yet to be your personal Savior? Or, are you one of the ones that the wicked one has blinded, making you think you have another day – when you may not?
