Personal Deception (3 of 14)
Series: God Walks with Us
Stephen Whitney
Genesis 27:18-29
What is a lie? It is to deliberately or intentionally say something that you know is not true. It is a statement given with the purpose of deceiving someone into believing something false.
Proverbs 12:17 Whoever speaks the truth gives honest evidence, but a false witness utters deceit.
GNB - When you tell the truth, justice is done, but lies lead to injustice.
A lie is really a coverup of the truth with intention to deceive. To hid the truth, we have to cheat or deceive others to fool them. Hiding the truth is harder than just letting the truth be known.

David Roper - ''She urged Jacob to outwit his father and secure the blessing for himself. Jacob, ever the opportunist, seized on his mother's unprincipled plan . . . Jacob chose to forge ahead on his own, adding sin to sin and exposing his duplicitous and desperately wicked heart.'' Jeremiah 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked; who can understand it? Deceitful - Heb. cannot be trusted (Isaiah 40:4 crooked). It is from the same root as the name Jacob which means deceiver.
