The God of this world hath blinded the minds.

2 Cor 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

I think without exception that most think this verse applies only to unsaved people. It clearly states that the minds of them which believe not. How many that are saved have had their minds blinded in regards to divine healing, or the baptism of the Holy Spirit for instance. I could list many other examples and so probably can you.

What about in the area of Christs death and resurrection? If you ask any one why did Christ die and rise again they would most likely site 1 Cor 15:3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; Every one agrees that Christ died for our sins.

However has Satan blinded our eyes to 2 Cor 5:15 And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.

We are no longer to live for ourselves but for Him. How many have seen this truth?
I confess that I have not lived my life for him but mostly for myself. My eyes were blinded also. Most of us have had the idol of self that we have worshipped and we all know what the Lord says about idols.

God grant that henceforth we are not blinded by Satan and that we will live our lives for Jesus and not for ourselves.

Be Blessed
