What Will Happen to Liars?
Commentary by John W. Ritenbaugh (1932-2023)Satan is designated as a liar, speaking only from his own resources, with no pure truth within him. Every thought from his heart is ulterior, misleading, and self-serving, as he aims to capture every soul through lying and enslave them. By contrast, Jesus Christ describes Himself as the embodiment of truth, which sets one free, while lying enslaves. The whole world lies under the sway of the devil, founded upon a sneaky lie uttered by Satan to Adam and Eve. So detestable is lying to God that He declares all liars shall have their part in the Lake of Fire. Mankind has been affected by the lying disease through contact with Satan and his minions. The source of lying is the heart, it is addictive to the liar, and its fruit is to make the liar unbelievable. Lies are a little fortress where the liar feels safe and powerful, using justifications to build walls around their deceit. The major damage of lying is the destruction of trust, which can irreparably harm or destroy relationships.
