In 1517, Martin Luther initiated the Reformation.

In 1517, Martin Luther, the founder of the Reformation, was visited by Satan, who listed all the sins Luther had committed.
Luther reportedly said, "Is that all you can list?"
"Yes, those are all true. 😓 But the blood of Jesus has resolved all sins."
He then drew an "X" in red ink.
...This is extremely important.
Even Christians often make mistakes with their words or do foolish things. 😥
...Even after becoming a Christian, painful memories from the past, memories of bullying, frightening experiences, traumas... 😱
...The devil attacks these memories, causing depression.
...When criticized or blamed by others, we defend ourselves.
This is exactly what Satan wants, a trap.
...At that time, remember this scripture!

… 1 John 1:7.

"But if we walk in the light, as God is in the light, we will have fellowship with one another, and the blood of his Son, Jesus, will purify us from all sin."
… Our sins are forgiven by the blood of Jesus Christ, the Son!
Declare the words of God, the words of the Bible, aloud.
The devil will flee.
…
Shalom 😄
