12/16/16 SATAN'S LIE

Do not let anyone deceive you into believing that the God given responsibility, and the God enabled ability to believe the gospel and be saved is an act of self righteousness or "works salvation," or that it is a "work of the flesh."

Those false accusations from Satan are designed to keep people from trusting in God. Remember, IT IS GOD Who requires us to believe, to receive, to confess, to repent, to trust, to follow, to deny ourselves, to obey.

Satan uses his subtlety to confuse us and mislead us into rejecting the simple and clear revelation of God, but rather to follow Satan's lie. To call anyone sinful or self asserting or self righteous for doing what God requires is just another trick of Satan to get people to disobey God. (Remember the Garden?)

2 Corinthians 11:3
(3) But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
