Does Satan Lie? Yes, He Is the Father of Lies.

The question is...does Satan lie? The answer--

Joh_8:44  Ye are of your father the devil... When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

Not only does he lie, he's the father of all lying.  Two days ago we read the verse in context we're going to do that again verse by verse, section by section, studying, praying for truth.

Joh 8:30  As he spake these words, many believed on him.
Joh 8:31  Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
Joh 8:32  And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

Jesus spoke and MANY believed what He was speaking.
Jesus spoke to the JEWS that believe in Him and told them- IF they CONTINUE in HIS WORDS then they would be His Disciples. And if they were His Disciples they would KNOW the TRUTH.  If they KNOW the truth, the TRUTH would make them FREE.

Were the Jews that believed Him happy with those words? Did they understand them? 

(The Jews answered)
Joh 8:33  They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?

They did not understand at all. They were of Abraham's seed - always God's chosen never subservient to any other God. They answered to God first and foremost. They sensed no bondage in themselves at all whatsoever. Jesus however knew what sort of bondage they were in.

Joh 8:34  Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.
Joh 8:35  And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever.
Joh 8:36  If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
Joh 8:37  I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.
Joh 8:38  I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father.

Jesus told them outright- it doesn't matter whose seed you are, if you sin you are the servant of sin. A servant of sin can't be a part of God's house forever. The Son of God lives forever, sinless with God.  And if the Son of God MAKES someone FREE of sin they WILL be FREE of sin!

Jesus knew and told them that He knew the they are of Abraham's descent, but even though they were of the chosen of God, the wanted to KILL Him, because they were DARK inside, they were filled with sin and didn't want any light inside themselves, they did NOT want the Word of Jesus in their lives. Jesus was ONLY ever speaking of the things of the Father. And the evil that the children of Abraham were doing they were doing because THEIR father was Satan!

Joh 8:39  They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father.
Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham.
Joh 8:40  But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.
Joh 8:41  Ye do the deeds of your father.
Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.

They did NOT comprehend that their father could not be Abraham, not really.  Their very actions proved they were NOT of God. And HOW many today are just as deceived as they are? How many believe they serve GOD that GOD is their Father but in truth they are serving Satan?

How many are deceived.  I'll tell you how many…

Mat 24:24  For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

IF IT WERE POSSIBLE- they would deceive the very elect, only by the GRACE of GOD it is NOT possible for God's elect to be deceived. 

Who are God's elect?   More on this tomorrow all by the LOVE of our GOD. We do not want to be among the deceived, we want desperately to be among God's elect and through His grace and mercy we will be!
