The best lie the devil has against us is 99% true. When something is 99% true, it is hard to see the falsity in it. He basically uses two lies to trick us though.
1. We are too good and don't need God. None of us are good enough on our own. We all need God. The pride of life comes heavily into play in this lie. We believe that we are good enough and smart enough to handle life on our own. In reality, we need God for even the most simple thing, taking a breath.
2. We are too bad and don't deserve God.We are all sinful and have fallen short of the glory of God. None of us get what we deserve truly. We deserve death and if it wasn't for the price Christ paid on the cross we would receive it. We feel guilty and unworthy of the grace and forgiveness of Christ. The weight and pressure of our sin makes us shy away from the freedom of the cross. This is the lie that I fall into more frequently.
Today I am struggling to believe that God does indeed love me and wants me in the fold. Satan is whispering lies all around me that are making me feel certain ways. I am just having a rough time with breaking free of my past and even some of my present.
