(just a few of the worst)
- Being godly is an impossible goal (Ephesians 6:16; 2 Peter 1:3, 4).
- Sin is inevitable but will not do any permanent damage (John 10:10; Romans chapter 6).
- Satan and evil are more powerful than God, and will win in the end (Isaiah 14; Ezekiel 28; Romans 16:20; Revelation 12:8, 20:7–10).
- The devil lies about his power and your powerlessness:
- He tells us that he is all–powerful (he’s not).
- He insists that we are powerless (we are, but our Lord is not).
- If you had a bad past you can only have a bad future (2 Corinthians 5:17).
- You are worthless and you can never succeed.
- The devil lies about our feelings:
- He says, “You can’t control your feelings of guilt, anger, fear or depression” (Romans 8:1; Ephesians 4:26; 1 John 4:18; 2 Corinthians 7:5–7).
- You can never forgive those who have wronged you (Matthew 6:14, 15; Matthew 18).
- The devil lies about our happiness:
- If you don’t put yourself first in life, you will be unhappy, even miserable (Mark 9:35).
- Living a life of sin is more fun than living for God (1 Timothy 6:10).
- The more stuff you have, the happier you will be (Luke 12:15–21; 1 Timothy 6:6–10).
- If you’re unhappy, it’s someone else’s fault (maybe God’s fault).
- Satan lies that what you watch, read or do for entertainment doesn’t have any effect on you (Matthew 12:33–37).
- There is nothing after this life—so what you do now makes no lasting difference (Hebrews 9:27
Next time: “You cannot lie to save your life!”
