Satan is a master of tricks.  He knows that we like to have things that make us feel good right now.  He steers us away from God by telling us we should embrace the things we can have right now in this world. But the wages of sin are death.  When you gamble on this world, you wage your life on it.  Satan wants to kill you by seducing you with the pleasures of this world.  What if Satan is smarter than you?
