Satan's
strategy since the Garden hasn't changed: He tries to get us to doubt
God's Word; he comes right out and tells us that it's not true; that's
not what He meant; and he tells us that we don't need God to decide
right and wrong, we can do that for ourselves.
"We assume that God,
shares "our" sense of justice and morality, "our" views on love and sex,
"our" politics and passions, "our" ideas of
an evening well spent and a life worth living." (Leeman) God is not
like us. We must agree with Him and His standards of righteousness as
revealed in His Word by the Spirit. To what degree do I embrace His
truth? When I don't agree with Him, I am being deceived. And the
Deceiver is never more dangerous than when he comes as an angel of
light.
