Deception

I want to remind you that we have a great team ready to answer your questions. Don’t ever think your question is too simple or basic. Howard Hendricks, one of my favorite seminary professors, would say, “The only foolish question is one you don’t ask.” Also, due to time, there are aspects of these passages that I can’t address. Again, be sure to send us your questions. Our team wants to help you stay engaged in God’s Word.

It all started in the Garden. In that perfect sinless environment, Satan came to Adam and Eve. There in the Garden, the deceiver twisted the truth and convinced Adam and Eve that God was holding out on them. They bought the lie. When God confronted Eve and asked, “What is this that you have done?” she replied, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate” (Genesis 3:13). Through the deceiver, sin and death entered humanity. That’s why Jesus says Satan is a murderer and a liar “from the beginning.”
