The lie that the validation and worth given to us from Christ isn't enough, that His grace and His death on the cross and His resurrection for us isn't enough when it comes to speaking to our worth, and that we need this still from others. The lie that says we can get this on our own, apart from God because we are lacking. The serpent saw us through a false paradigm, out of that he spoke and we believed. The paradigm the serpent had of us when tempting Eve was that we were lacking, that God was withholding, and that we could get what we lacked and what God was withholding on our own, and that by us getting that on our own by disobeying God, by mistrusting God, by sinning..we would not surely die, what a lie. The lie was presented so well, it's the paradigm of looking through the eyes of the serpent that paints us as lacking and able to get what God withholds, and by not truly dying in our sin of unbelief and disobedience.
It's the lie that God isn't really enough, what Christ has done for us isn't enough. This is the great deception still propelling us straight into the enemy's headquarters of sin.
Christ's words on the cross hold so much truth and power:
"It is finished." John 19:30. Nothing else is necessary, believe it, it's the truth and be set free.
