Satan's inconsistent lies...

Humans have an innate desire to appear consistent with prior statements we make, but Satan or his demons will tell you whatever lies you are most likely to believe, such as:
  • You don’t need to be forgiven and an eternity in Hell is not the consequence for your sins - he’ll point you to the culture or any number of liberal churches that teach a false Gospel.
  • You can’t be forgiven - your sins are too great - he’ll be glad to reinforce that with grace-less churches.
  • You can earn your salvation - he’ll send cultists or false teachers your way or send you their way.
  • There is no God - he’ll send you to the culture or teachings that the universe came from nothing, life came from non-life and evolved to what we see today, forgiveness is not necessary, that these random evolutionary forces invented religion and the concept of God, etc.
  • God is here to make you prosperous and solve all your problems in this life. Don’t worry about eternity.
  • That all religions lead you to God.

[Satan will] do anything to keep you from the truth: You are a sinner in need of a Savior. You can’t fix or forgive yourself. You need to trust in Jesus and what He did for you on the cross.

He hates you and hates your soul and wants to keep you from Jesus. If you have been saved by Jesus, then he wants to distract you to make you ineffective for the kingdom or to make your ministry ineffective.

"You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies." (John 8:44)
