Deception today:

  • “Store up treasure for yourself on Earth.” 
  • “Jesus is a way, a truth, and a life.” 
  • “Don’t deny yourself, fulfill yourself.” 

 

The goal of deception is to lure people away from the truth, and ultimately away from eternal life.

 

The Solution: The Holy Spirit guides us in the truth, and into eternal life.

            John 16:13
