Satan Snatching the Word

To take the word out of their hearts means that Satan tries in every way he can to suggest to men that if they believe in Jesus and in His word, they cannot pursue their own goals and earthly wishes, or seek for worldly glory. They must not put the approval of men above the approval of God. Satan takes away that word that tells them that they need to deny themselves and pick up their cross to follow Jesus. He takes away that word that tells them that seeking God's glory through faith in Christ is the most important thing.
