Genesis 3:4-5 NIV
"You will not surely die," the serpent said to the woman. {5} "For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil."
Liar. That’s what the devil is. The Bible calls him ‘the father of lies’. This lie in Genesis 3 was the first lie. God had clearly told Adam that if he ate from the fruit of that specific tree, he would die. Now the devil confronts Eve and completely contradicts what God had said. He still works that way. The devil, through various means and media, tries to convince us that what is wrong is actually right and what is bad is really good. He wants us to think that harmful things are really beneficial for us. Adam and Eve quickly discovered that the devil had lied.
God has given us His Word (The Bible) as our primary weapon against the devil’s lies. When we read and study the Bible and immerse ourselves in God’s Truth, we will be better equipped to dismiss the devil’s lies. God knows what’s best for us. Trust Him. Trust His Word.
