Truth or Lie?
I pray that you and all God’s people will understand what is called wide or long or high or deep. I want you to know all about Christ’s love, although it is too wonderful to be measured. Then your lives will be filled with all that God is.
Ephesians 3:18–19 (CEV)
“You are not loved.” Since the beginning of time, Satan has been feeding us this line—his biggest lie. When he first whispered into Eve’s ear the possibility that God was holding out on her, that she really should have the fruit in the Garden of Eden, he planted the doubt that maybe God didn’t really want the best for his people. The enemy made us wonder if God really loves us.
Through the ages, the enemy has continued to push this lie. The conflict now falls to you. You have to fight the lie, too, because believing that God doesn’t love you brings total destruction.
God’s love is greater than you could ever imagine. That’s what this week’s Scripture passage is referring to. The love of God is so wide, long, high, and deep—it cannot be measured! What do you think happens when you accept a love like that into your life? What happens when you love God back and choose to live your life for him? You conquer the enemy’s lies! You prove him wrong.
We fight Satan’s lies by knowing the truth—God’s Word. Make it your mission to learn more about God’s love every day through prayer, reading and meditating on the Bible, and surrounding yourself with people who can lift you up in your faith.
