“And for this cause God sendeth them a working of error, that they should believe a lie.” 2 Thessalonians 2:11
This world is unreal. Rejection of the truth has produced a state of affairs in which men are so deceived that they are confident that they are right. The deliberate liar cannot bear to be questioned; but the blinded do not mind, because their deception has become the truth to them.
It is terrible to believe a lie. To believe the lies of others is bad enough, but it is much worse to believe one’s own lies. Thank God for his illumination which can quickly dispel all such darkness. We need never fear deception if we maintain “the love of the truth” (verse 10) by which men are saved. The one great mistake is to avoid God’s light, so closing our minds to him who is the Truth.
