Beskrivelse

In this episode of Bible Chapter by Chapter, we step back and look at the whole letter — the full arc of Paul's Letter to the Colossians, from the portrait of Christ in Chapter 1 to Paul's handwritten close in Chapter 4. The letter asks one question from beginning to end: is Christ enough? Not as a theological position — as a daily, practical reality when the voices around you, or inside you, suggest that what you have needs supplementing. This overview covers every chapter. Chapter 1: the prayer for wisdom that produces a walk, and the most concentrated portrait of Christ in Paul's letters — the image of the invisible God, the Creator of all things, the one in whom all things hold together, the fullness dwelling in Him, and the mystery now revealed: Christ in you, the hope of glory. Chapter 2: the warning named directly — be careful that no one robs you — and the two verses at the center of the letter: in him all the fullness of the Godhead dwells bodily, and in him you are made full. The cross's complete work shown, and the religious system offering itself as a supplement demolished as shadow rather than substance. Chapter 3: the hidden life — you died, your life is hidden with Christ in God — and everything that flows from that fact, from the putting off and putting on to the community where Christ is all and in all, down to marriages, parenting, and daily work. Chapter 4: steadfast prayer, speech seasoned with salt, and a list of names that shows what the gospel looks like in actual people — including one man, Demas, whose ending Paul cannot yet see. And Paul, taking the pen himself: remember my bonds. Grace be with you. The last word is not the argument. It is grace. 📖 Scripture reading from the World English Bible (WEB)🎧 Calm, verse-by-verse devotional format📺 New episodes every chapter 📺 Watch more Bible studies here: https://www.youtube.com/@BibleChapterByChapterStudy [https://www.youtube.com/@BibleChapterByChapterStudy]🎧 Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6MnjQf5YAsxCAhha7jCSGD [https://open.spotify.com/show/6MnjQf5YAsxCAhha7jCSGD] Subscribe to Bible Chapter by Chapter and follow along as we walk through God's Word — one chapter at a time. #BibleStudy #Colossians #ChristAboveAll #IsChristEnough #ChristianPodcast #BibleChapterByChapter #Scripture #Faith #Devotional #PaulsLetters

The Devil Has Already Been Defeated — What The Bible Says About Satan's End | Satan: What The Bible Actually Says Part 4

The final episode of Satan: What the Bible Actually Says. And the one the whole series has been building toward. In Part 4, we walk through the complete biblical account of Satan's defeat. From the first promise in Genesis 3:15 — he will bruise your head — through the cross, where Colossians 2:15 says the principalities and powers were stripped and triumphed over, Hebrews 2:14-15 says the power of death was brought to nothing, and John 12:31 says the prince of this world was cast out. Through 1 John 3:8 — the Son of God was revealed specifically to destroy the works of the devil. Through Revelation 12:10-11 and the three things by which believers overcome the accuser: the blood of the Lamb, the word of their testimony, and a life not held back even by death. To the final end in Revelation 20:10. We close with four things to carry: be alert not afraid, know your weapons, resist and he will flee, and remember that the end is certain. The adversary knows his end. Revelation 12:12 says he came down in great wrath knowing he has but a short time. And then the bridge back to our study of 1 Thessalonians — because Paul was writing to believers in a world of real spiritual opposition, and he never once made the adversary the center of the story. Christ is. The reality of Satan is part of the Christian story. It is never the center. That is exactly where this series ends. 📖 Scripture references from the World English Bible (WEB)🎧 Calm, verse-by-verse format📺 Part 4 of 4 — Satan: What the Bible Actually Says 📺 Watch more Bible studies here: https://www.youtube.com/@BibleChapterByChapterStudy [https://www.youtube.com/@BibleChapterByChapterStudy]🎧 Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6MnjQf5YAsxCAhha7jCSGD [https://open.spotify.com/show/6MnjQf5YAsxCAhha7jCSGD]🌐 Visit us at: www.biblechapterbychapter.com [http://www.biblechapterbychapter.com] #SatanDefeated #DefeatOfTheDevil #WhatBibleSaysAboutSatan #Colossians215 #Hebrews214 #Revelation20 #BibleStudy #BibleChapterByChapter #ChristianPodcast #GospelVictory defeat of the devil, Satan defeated, what does the Bible say about the devil, Satan end Revelation 20, Colossians 2:15, Hebrews 2:14 destroy death, blood of the Lamb, 1 John 3:8 works of the devil, Romans 16:20 crush Satan, Bible study, Christian podcast, spiritual warfare, Bible chapter by chapter, WEB Bible, Scripture, apologetics, overcoming the enemy

Who Is Satan? — The Names, The Methods, And The Four Things Scripture Says He Is Not (Part 3 of 4)

Who is Satan? The Bible doesn't give him one name — it gives him many. And every name is a description of function, a window into exactly how the adversary operates, what his strategies are, and what he is after. In Part 3 of Satan: What the Bible Actually Says, we walk through the full list of names and titles Scripture assigns to Satan. But before we do, we spend time on what may be the most practically important section in the entire series: what Satan is not. Not omnipresent — he has a location and cannot be everywhere at once. Not omniscient — he cannot read your mind or know your thoughts. Not omnipotent — his power is real but definitively bounded by God, as Job 1 and 2 make explicit. Not equal to God — this is not a dualism of two matched powers. He is a creature. God is the Creator. The difference is not degree. It is category. Then the names. Satan — the adversary, the one whose fundamental posture toward you is opposition. Devil — the Greek diabolos, the slanderer who weaponizes words to destroy relationships and trust. The tempter — who always begins with something real and offers a path to it that bypasses dependence on God. The father of lies and the murderer — John 8:44's most devastating titles. The accuser who brings charges day and night, thrown down by the blood of the Lamb. The prince of this world and the god of this age. The roaring lion of 1 Peter 5:8. And the most dangerous disguise — the angel of light of 2 Corinthians 11:14. Every name has an answer. The name above every name is higher than all of them. 📖 Scripture references from the World English Bible (WEB)🎧 Calm, verse-by-verse format📺 Part 3 of 4 — Satan: What the Bible Actually Says 📺 Watch more Bible studies here: https://www.youtube.com/@BibleChapterByChapterStudy [https://www.youtube.com/@BibleChapterByChapterStudy]🎧 Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6MnjQf5YAsxCAhha7jCSGD [https://open.spotify.com/show/6MnjQf5YAsxCAhha7jCSGD]🌐 Visit us at: www.biblechapterbychapter.com [http://www.biblechapterbychapter.com] #WhoIsSatan #NamesOfSatan #FatherOfLies #RoaringLion #AngelOfLight #SatanBible #BibleStudy #BibleChapterByChapter #ChristianPodcast #SpiritualWarfare 🏷️ TAGSwho is Satan, names of Satan in the Bible, father of lies, roaring lion 1 Peter 5:8, angel of light 2 Corinthians 11:14, Satan accuser, devil diabolos, what Satan is not, spiritual warfare, what does the Bible say about the devil, Bible study, Christian podcast, Bible chapter by chapter, WEB Bible, Scripture, apologetics, Satan names titles

Where Did Satan Come From? — The Most Honest Answer The Bible Actually Gives | Satan: What The Bible Actually Says Part 2

Where did Satan come from? If God created everything and called it very good, how did an adversary of this intelligence and power come to exist? This is one of the oldest theological questions in the history of the church — and the Bible gives us more of an answer than most people realize. In Part 2 of Satan: What the Bible Actually Says, we walk carefully through the two most important passages in the Old Testament on this subject: Isaiah 14 and Ezekiel 28. Both were written as judgments against earthly kings — Babylon and Tyre — but both move at specific moments into language that describes something no merely human king could be. A being in Eden. An anointed cherub on the holy mountain of God. A creature perfect from the day of its creation, until unrighteousness was found in it. We name what these texts say clearly and what they leave uncertain. We look at the five I will statements of Isaiah 14 — the anatomy of pride in its purest form. We trace how Jesus in Luke 10:18 confirms the fall, and how Revelation 12, 1 Timothy 3:6, and Jude 6 fill out the picture. The answer: Satan was not created as Satan. He was created good, created glorious, given proximity to God that no other creature in Scripture is described as having. And he chose his own beauty over the God who made him beautiful. The origin of evil is not in God's creation. It is in a creature's choice. That choice — pride, the desire to be like the Most High — did not enter the universe through a human heart. It entered through the most brilliant creature who ever stood in the presence of God. And that is the most searching warning in this whole series. 📖 Scripture references from the World English Bible (WEB)🎧 Calm, verse-by-verse format📺 Part 2 of 4 — Satan: What the Bible Actually Says 📺 Watch more Bible studies here: https://www.youtube.com/@BibleChapterByChapterStudy [https://www.youtube.com/@BibleChapterByChapterStudy]🎧 Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6MnjQf5YAsxCAhha7jCSGD [https://open.spotify.com/show/6MnjQf5YAsxCAhha7jCSGD]🌐 Visit us at: www.biblechapterbychapter.com [http://www.biblechapterbychapter.com] #WhereDoesSatanComeFrom #OriginOfSatan #Isaiah14 #Ezekiel28 #LuciferBible #BibleStudy #BibleChapterByChapter #Satan #Devil #ChristianPodcast where did Satan come from, origin of Satan, Lucifer fall from heaven, Isaiah 14 morning star, Ezekiel 28 anointed cherub, where does the devil come from, Bible study, Christian podcast, Satan origin, Lucifer Bible, pride sin origin, Bible chapter by chapter, WEB Bible, Scripture, spiritual warfare, apologetics

episode Is Satan Real? — The Most Direct Evidence From Scripture And What A Balanced Answer Actually Requires (Part 1 of 4) cover

Is Satan Real? — The Most Direct Evidence From Scripture And What A Balanced Answer Actually Requires (Part 1 of 4)

Is Satan real — or is he a symbol, a metaphor, a way of talking about human evil in personal terms? This is the question that every other question about the devil depends on. And the most compelling starting point isn't church tradition or theological inference. It's the words of Jesus. In Part 1 of Satan: What the Bible Actually Says, we walk through the full biblical portrait — from the Old Testament appearances in Genesis 3, Job, and Zechariah, to the most direct evidence in the New Testament: the consistent testimony of Jesus Himself. Jesus spoke about Satan more than any other New Testament figure. He described watching Satan fall from heaven. He faced him personally in the wilderness in Matthew 4. He called him a murderer from the beginning and the father of lies in John 8:44. He identified him as the prince of this world in John 12:31. He said Satan had requested permission to sift Peter like wheat. He described eternal fire prepared specifically for the devil and his angels. The most straightforward reading of those statements treats Satan as a real personal being with a real history, real present activity, and a real future judgment. We name that clearly while also naming two things that must be said alongside it: Satan is not equal to God, and he is already defeated. The cross decided that. Revelation 20 completes it. We are not here to be fascinated by the enemy. We are not here to be frightened of him. We are here to understand what God's Word actually says. 📖 Scripture references from the World English Bible (WEB)🎧 Calm, verse-by-verse format📺 Part 1 of 4 — Satan: What the Bible Actually Says 📺 Watch more Bible studies here: https://www.youtube.com/@BibleChapterByChapterStudy [https://www.youtube.com/@BibleChapterByChapterStudy]🎧 Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6MnjQf5YAsxCAhha7jCSGD [https://open.spotify.com/show/6MnjQf5YAsxCAhha7jCSGD]🌐 Visit us at: www.biblechapterbychapter.com [http://www.biblechapterbychapter.com] #Satan #IsTheDevilReal #WhatDoesBibleSayAboutSatan #BibleStudy #BibleChapterByChapter #ChristianPodcast #Faith #Scripture #SpiritualWarfare
