The LIE
Genesis 3:4-5 The Voice
Serpent: Die? No, you’ll not die. God is playing games with you. 5 The truth is that God knows the day you eat the fruit from that tree you will awaken something powerful in you and become like Him: possessing knowledge of both good and evil.
My Thoughts 💭
Do you hear the whispers thet are making you feel like your missing out on something, you need more to be finally fulfilled, telling you that you need the latest …………(fill in the blank with any worldly/created item) to be satisfied?!
It’s a LIE, and we still fall for it everyday!
The Truth
2 Peter 1:3-4 The Voice
His divine power has given us everything we need to experience life and to reflect God’s true nature through the knowledge of the One who called us by His glory and virtue. Through these things, we have received God’s great and valuable promises, so we might escape the corruption of worldly desires and share in the divine nature.
God took the first step to rescue us from this corrupt world. He has granted us His power, revealed to us true knowledge, and spoken to us great promises. He has done all this for a reason: that we might participate in His own nature and reflect His own life. But we are not passive observers of God’s saving actions. We must receive His grace, grow in knowledge, and join Him in this work of redemption.
Listen out for the LIE, then, remember we have everything we need in Jesus!
Well put together and well said, Steve. You are a lamp that lights the path.
Amazing how a thought, twisted, clever, and dropped just right for The Fall to happen in the first place. The mind is a battlefield, and that is No lie. Wasn’t that proven in Genesis? You bet satan knows how your mind works and how to insert a thought and how to Try to lead You to fall.
