Convincing Lies!

 

We are bombarded with distorted truth and half-truth almost every day. The media world, social platforms and art world are constantly communicating lies that looks so close to the truth but not true. The popularized claims and messages are just fooling people into believing the lies. The captions, slogans, and taglines which promote lies are unimaginably attractive today. It looks like a perfect philosophy of life. Let me name a few lies the world says:

•Your value is based on your accomplishments. 

• Your spouse must complete you and make you happy. 

• If your spouse no longer makes you happy, it’s okay to leave and find someone who does. 

• You deserve to be happy at all costs. 

• If it feels good, do it.

• Waiting to have sex until after you’re married is not practical.

• Success is measured by how much money you make. 

• Your life is your own. Do what makes you happy. 

• The more money you have, the happier you will be. 

• The prettier you are, the happier you will be. 

The problem today is that there are many religious scriptures and cultures that are self-contradictory and harmful yet has become the way of life for many, sadly. If gods have done it, then it is an approval. Many have fallen for the above mentioned lies and have become slaves to various addictions and destroyed their lives. People are chasing fleeting pleasures and sin which have made their condition worse and hearts restless. The lies can look promising and satisfying but in reality, it leaves a huge vacuum in the human heart. Your soul needs to find the truth to find the Saviour who can forgive all your wrong doings and make you a sane human.

The Bible tells us that “the whole world is under the control of the evil one”. We seem to be splitting hairs here. But when we consider the power of the enemy and the pull of world systems, they are almost one and the same. Right now, the world systems are being heavily influenced by the Evil One. But here’s the hope. Jesus said, “But take heart! I have overcome the world”. As long as we live in the world, we will feel its pull. But God assures us we have what it takes to “overcome the world”. What the world tells us changes from one season to the next. What is wrong one day may be right the next. What is despicable one day may be embraced the next. But God’s truth never changes. We have the power of the Spirit of the living God abiding in us and faith in the Saviour who works through us. He wants to transform you and prepare you for eternity. Eternal life is not a myth, story, or a joke. We just don’t make it naturally. Believe in Jesus stay transformed here and forever till we meet our Saviour.
