Who is the liar? What is the biggest lie he speaks? Then what is the Truth?
First of all Who is the liar? The devil is not just the liar, he is the father of lies!
Jesus spoke to the Jews who did not believe in Him that they were of their father the devil who lies all the time-not just sometimes, not most times but he speaks lies all the time with ONE purpose – to deceive man and utterly destroy him.
Jesus said, “Why do you not understand what I am saying? It is because you cannot hear My word. You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies. But because I speak the truth, you do not believe Me. Which one of you convicts Me of sin? If I speak truth, why do you not believe Me? He who is of God hears the words of God; for this reason you do not hear them, because you are not of God.” John 8:44-47
Even today people are not able to believe the truth because they have listened to the lies and been deceived by the devil who is not just a liar, but also a thief and a murderer.
Jesus said, “Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. All who came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them. I am the door; if anyone enters through Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly. John 10:8-10
Now what is the biggest lie that he speaks?
Before answering that one should know that the devil is a created being and should never be compared to God nor Jesus. God is the Creator and Jesus is the Word through Whom all things were created, so the devil stands nowhere near to be compared to God. Whenever the devil speaks he speaks mixing lies with what God has spoken in His Word.
Jesus said, I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows). John 10:10
Jesus says He came to give them life in abundance, life that you enjoy, till it overflows. The devil has been deceiving man portraying a wrong picture of God right from the beginning that God does not want to give them good things (Genesis 3:4) and he deceived Eve to eat from the tree that was forbidden and gave it to Adam and thus both were deceived.
Today he does the same by lying to man that in God there is no enjoyment. Do not believe this lie again but believe the words of Jesus when He said, I have come that they may have and enjoy life and to the full, in abundance and till it overflows!
Here is a few verses to read from the Bible and dispel this lie of the devil:
You will make known to me the way of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; In Your right hand there are pleasures forever. Psalm 16:11
Instruct those who are rich in this present world not to be conceited or to set their hope on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly supplies us with all things to enjoy. 1 Timothy 6:17
There is a right way and a wrong way to “enjoy” – the right way leaves you pure and righteous and in peace, but the wrong way leaves you miserable and guilty. What God created the devil has perverted – sexual relations inside a marriage is what God made but the devil perverted what was good and led them to live in sexual immorality outside marriage which is sin that ultimately leads to one’s own destruction.
“Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow.” James 1:7
As the apostle Paul exhorted the Philippian church, know that we are called to Rejoice in the Lord always, as our Hope is not just in this world but is eternal in Christ Jesus.
