One Greater Than Satan, like God's Unfolding Story of Salvation, is a Bible study based on A Tale of Two Kingdoms. Its title emphasizes the truth that King Jesus reigns over all, including Satan. The Bible describes Satan's character and activity many times. However, it only records his conversation three times: in the Garden of Eden, in heaven concerning Job, and in the temptation of Jesus. From a human perspective, believers have a problem difficult to understand. How exactly does Satan try to thwart God's plan of salvation? The Bible contains examples of people whom Satan used to promote his evil intentions. It also explains how Satan tries to trip up believers. The resulting conflict boils down to a battle of the wills: God's, Satan's, and ours.

No one can appreciate the size or shape of a forest without flying over top to view the big picture. The Bible is like a forest and individual books are similar to trees. Studying small portions of Scripture is worthwhile and necessary. Nevertheless one of the first steps of discipleship after salvation should be an understanding of the big picture in the Bible. God's Unfolding Story of Salvation teaches believers that the biblical storyline is Christ-centered.
Often people think of redemptive history only in terms of its promises in the Old Testament and its fulfillment in the New Testament. There is much more to the story than that. In the Old Testament the Holy Spirit also points to Christ through preparation for his birth, pictures or types, and anticipation. Since God's story ultimately affects each one of us, it is worth the time and effort required to understand it. If you do this, you will discover a pearl of great value. Forgiveness of sin and reconciliation with God are the greatest needs of everyone past, present, and future. This redemption story brings glory to God and benefits believers.
