Psalm 139:14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

We can only expose a lie with truth. I begin with the truth. God has made a way for us to know truth.

John 18:37b To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.

We hear the truth because we have a close personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

Look closely to Jesus’ words here. Satan does not abide in truth. We abide in Christ and we abide in truth. The light of truth is the only way to expose a lie.

Now for the hard part. As I pointed out yesterday, our perceptions are not truth. We should not rely upon our perceptions which are clouded by raw emotions.

We encounter people daily who do not have a personal relationship with Christ. They do not know the truth. What they speak is not a lie but rather their perception. One must know the truth to speak a lie. There are many in the world who believe the lies of Satan to their own detriment. Some lies are only distractions to keep unbelievers in the chains of sin.

Some who believe the lies are the enemies of the Cross and these are not harmless and mean to do evil things in the name of the liar.
