The devil is indeed the father of lies. Beware of his deceit!!
Adam and Eve were made in the image and likeness of God. They were like God. But what was it that the devil tempted Eve with? Becoming like God! The devil tempts us by convincing us that we lack the very thing that God has given to us.
When we are tempted to think we lack something-- be it purity, patience, peace, confidence--let us be assured that in fact it is one of the treasures that God has already given to us. It is written: "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavens, as He chose us in Him, before the foundation of the world, to be holy and without blemish before Him." (Ephesians 1:3-4) God is constantly granting us EVERY SPIRITUAL BLESSING IN THE HEAVENS!!!!!!!!! All we must do is open ourselves to His grace.
