Why Doesn’t the Devil Like Islam?

 

Trey Knowles — “Why Doesn’t the Devil Like Islam?”

Trey Knowles asks an interesting question: Why doesn’t the devil like Islam? The answer is simple—the devil does not want to obey God, and Islam openly calls people to submit to God’s authority. Because of this, it exposes rebellion against God. The devil prefers situations where he can take advantage of misunderstandings about God’s grace and mercy. God created human beings in His image and likeness, giving them moral character. But the devil has a character of his own, one rooted in deception. He may come pretending to be light, but in reality he is full of darkness. Grace and mercy are wonderful gifts from God. However, they are not meant to be used as excuses for continual disobedience. At some point, a person must choose to do the will of God. If someone repeatedly refuses to follow God’s will, it raises the question of whether they truly belong to Him. The Bible says that wolves can appear among the sheep, but they are not the same. A sheep knows the voice of God, and the sheep listens to Him. After learning and growing in faith, a believer should not remain on “training wheels” forever. A sheep should not need forgiveness for the same things over and over once they understand and follow God’s guidance. The devil loves when grace and mercy are misunderstood and used as justification for continued wrongdoing. That kind of thinking turns grace into “training wheels,” allowing people to remain wild instead of becoming obedient to God.
