“It is written.” Stand upon
it, and if the devil were fifty devils in one, he could not overcome you.
On the other hand, if you
leave “It is written,” Satan knows more about reasoning than you do.
He is far older, has studied mankind very thoroughly, and knows all our weak points. Therefore, the contest will be an unequal one.
Do not argue with him . . . . but wave in his face the banner of God’s Word.

Satan cannot endure the
infallible truth, for it is death to the falsehood of which he is the father.

Spiritual Warfare in a Believer’s Life, Sermon Matthew 4:4
********************************
Satan was a murderer from the beginning and does not
stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a
falsehood, he speaks what is natural to him, for he is a liar [himself] and the
father of lies and of all that is false. (John 8:44)
