Lies

In the Bible, "lies" generally refer to falsehoods or deceptions that are contrary to the truth. The concept of lying is addressed throughout Scripture, indicating its moral and spiritual implications. For instance, in Proverbs 12:22, it states, "The Lord detests lying lips, but he delights in people who are trustworthy." This highlights that lying is not just a social faux pas but a serious offense in the eyes of God, as it undermines the very nature of truth, which is foundational to divine character and human relationships.Moreover, in John 8:44, Jesus refers to the devil as "the father of lies," emphasizing the diabolical origin and influence of falsehood. The New Testament further reinforces the call to truthfulness among believers. Ephesians 4:25 encourages Christians to "put off falsehood and speak truthfully to your neighbor," reinforcing the idea that honesty is essential to community and fellowship. Lies are seen not only as a violation of God's commands but also as destructive to the fabric of relationships and society, ultimately leading to spiritual consequences and estrangement from God.

The Truth About the Lie

By William Carrol

1.5K44:45

GEN 3:1HEB 3:13

William Carrol delivers a powerful message titled 'The Truth About the Lie,' emphasizing that every lie from the enemy ultimately seeks to defame the character of God. He illustrates how Eve was deceived not just by a lie, but by a lie about the nature of God, while Adam, knowing the truth, failed to defend God's integrity. Carrol encourages believers to recognize the lies that distract them from God's truth and to defend God's character in their lives. He stresses the importance of understanding that temptation, persecution, and accusation are all tactics of the enemy to distort our view of God. The sermon concludes with a call to prayer and a commitment to allow the Holy Spirit to reveal Christ and strengthen our faith against the lies we encounter.
