How does Satan hinder a person's belief according to the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

Satan hinders belief by snatching away the Word from the hearts of those who hear it.

Jesus teaches in Luke 8 that those by the wayside are those who hear the Word but allow Satan to come and take it away before they can believe and be saved (Luke 8:12). This indicates that spiritual warfare is a reality faced by believers—Satan actively seeks to undermine the reception of God's truth. The meaning of this parable highlights the necessity of divine illumination and understanding, without which faith cannot take root. Recognizing the presence of spiritual adversaries reinforces the need for reliance on God's grace in our quest for spiritual growth.
