This is Satan’s Best Tactic To Justify Sin
“The serpent (Satan) said to Eve: Did God in actuality really mean that you Can’t eat from every tree in this garden? But she replied we can eat anything here but There is one tree God said we cannot eat O He said that we Will Die. But the serpent LIED and told her, You won’t die, but instead you’ll be Like God.”
Genesis 3:1-5
If you think about it, every time we do something bad,
we justify it first in our mind.
It may be something innocent, like cheating on your diet
('one piece of cake won’t hurt')
or cheating on your spouse (we have no love in our
marriage anyway, don’t I have a right to feel and be
loved?!?) But regardless of the offense, there’s
that 'little voice' whispering in your ear
that what you’re doing is not that bad is it?!?
You see, when it gets down to it, we also often fall for the same lie that
Satan said to Eve by justifying that our little indiscretion
really isn’t wrong. For some today it’s often
justified under the banner 'God Is LOVE and he wants
you to be happy, so just follow your heart and Love and
that’s all you need.'
Truth Is Not Justified By Feelings
Friend, be aware of this little scheme. As 1 Peter 5:8 warns:
“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil,
as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.”
