There is someone who begrudges us this life and happiness (walking with God) – the evil one. He is the deceiver. Using subtle argument is the same as in the Garden of Eden. Did God really say, for instance, that I should avoid suing other? That my anger will bring the wrath of God down upon me? That He hates divorce? (Malachi 2:16) That the Bible recognizes only one kind of marriage as valid and every kind of sexual relationship before or outside of marriage as sinful?
When the voice of temptation whispers insinuations into our ears, we need to listen for the voice of God, which comes to us with unmistakable clarity in the commands in His Word. Instead of allowing the voice of the enemy into your hearts, let us for love of God accept the challenge of His commands When we are moved by love to do what God says, we become united with the will of God and so with God Himself – the deepest of unions (John 14:23). ~~ Mutter Basilea Schlink (1904-2001)
