Other gods…How Close Are We?
We understand that God wants no other gods before Him. The apostle Paul understood that there was an alternative “god” that could be worshipped. This being was so successful at deceiving the world— so much more so that he was able to blind the minds of people so that they were unable to recognize the true God. That “god” that seeks our attention and the worship of that being results in the destruction of humankind. Paul refers to the god of this age in Ephesians 2:2 as the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the children of disobedience.
