“And for this cause God sends 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.
