The wiles of the devil. - Eph 6:11.
Satan, says one, had not been a devil if he had not first been an angel of light, and therefore he was originally a superior being; but he has been improving his skill by experience in his beguiling and seductive artifices for near six thousand years. Hence the Apostle thus speaks of the wiles of

“Satan, the fowler, who betrays

Unguarded souls a thousand ways.”

This fowler never “spreads his net” in the sight of any bird; he covers it, conceals his guns and his snares, till unaware we are entangled or caught. Sometimes he falls upon us from quarters where we had little or no apprehension of danger. Sometimes, and indeed how frequently, how invariably, he approaches us in the hour of success, and while enjoying the smiles of prosperity, when our fears are laid asleep. It is very true, as Watts says-

“We should suspect some danger nigh

When we possess delight.”

Some of his greatest temptations come even after Spiritual enlargements and privileges. We see Paul was in danger of being exalted above measure, owing to the abundance of revelation; and good Hezekiah, after he was delivered from the Assyrian invasion, and recovered from his sickness, and had fifteen years added to his life, was puffed up with pride, “therefore there was wrath upon him and upon Judah and Jerusalem.” We sometimes think of being safe when alone. David was alone when he was overcome; and how can we be safe in solitude if this being has access to us, and possessed as we are of a deceitful heart? How secure Peter seemed; he said: “Though all men shall be offended yet will I never be offended.” And when our Saviour came so much the nearer, and said to him, “Peter, before the c**k crow twice thou shalt deny me thrice;” he said, “Though I should die with thee, yet will I not deny thee.” A few hours only after this “he began even to curse and to swear, saying, I know not the man.”

Oh, how often does Satan overcome us by “the deceitfulness of sin,” and by false and flattering names! He comes to one and says, I would not have you covetous-covetousness is a very bad thing, but only lay up for the children. To another he says, I would not have you proud; pride is a very bad thing, but only show a becoming degree of Spirit. I do not wish you to be revengeful: this is very unchristian; but when you forgive, never forget. Ah, says the Apostle, “We are not ignorant of his devices.”

The whole world lieth in wickedness. - 1Jn 5:19.
THE world here means, First, The world of which the Saviour said, Satan is the prince, and of which Paul says, Satan is the god. “The prince of this world cometh and hath nothing in me.” “The god of this world hath blinded the minds of them that believe not;” and therefore he grieved, and all Christians will like him grieve, that the world is ignorant of its real Spiritual character and condition, and of its eternal welfare. Satan is called “the prince of this world,” because the people of the world are his subjects, and he rules over them and in them. And he is called “the god of this world,” because they love him; and, however astounding, it is a fact, an awful fact, that Satan has his Sabbaths and his sanctuaries, his ministers, his preachers, his means and ordinances, as well as the God of Truth. When, therefore, a sinner is converted, he is said to be “turned from the power of Satan unto God”- turned from his power as a prince-turned from his power as a god.

Secondly, The world here means the disobedient and unbelieving world, and it is always in the Scriptures spoken of as being in the way of destruction, and therefore we are dissuaded from it, and charged not to be conformed to it, lest we perish with it. Thus we read, that to “walk according to the course of this world,” is to “walk according to the prince of the power of the air, the Spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience.” Hence, says James, Whosoever will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. And hence, says John, “Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world.”

Thirdly, The wicked are called the world; not only because they are worldly, but because they have been, down to this time, immensely the majority of mankind. For there was a time when every imagination of the heart was evil continually, and when Noah was seen alone righteous in that generation. Ten righteous men would have saved S***m and Gomorrah, but ten righteous men were not found there. How few would have preserved Israel in the time of Jeremiah! “Run ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now and know, and seek in the broad places thereof, if ye can find a man, if there be any that executeth judgment, that seeketh the truth; and I will pardon it.” And, says the Apostle John in the Scriptures, “The whole world lieth in wickedness.”

Oh, yes, some are ready to say, but it is not so now. But suppose we take a globe, and colour all the parts of the earth where Christianity in any form, in any degree, prevails, our feelings would be greatly shocked at the sight of the smallness of the dimensions, and we should be ready to fall upon our knees, and say, “Let thy way be known on earth, thy saving health among all nations.” And if we take a Christian country, and examine the inhabitants- take a single village, and observe the tempers and lives of the natives, and then see whether the stones in their churchyards are chargeable with truth or falsehood, when they tell us that all the parish is gone or going to heaven. Then, if we take a congregation, one of a more evangelical complexion, and follow the people out of the house of God into common life, and let candour itself tell us how many of these abide with God in their calling-how many walk in the fear of the Lord all the day long.

“Broad is the road that leads to death.

And thousands walk together there,;

But wisdom shows a narrower path.

With here and there a traveller.”
