Will you trust Me?” Lesson 17
The Challenge of
living the FAITH-REST LIFE
The problem of the lies we believe
These lies are the beliefs, notions, attitudes, and expectations that do not fit with the truth of the Word of God.
Their General Nature: They include everything from the strategies by which we attempt to handle life on a daily basis to what one believes is needed to be saved or to walk by the Spirit.
Religious Lies: Any method that depends on human works for salvation or for sanctification.
Subtle Lies: Any method by which people seek to handle life, to find peace, significance, joy, satisfaction, or security apart from faith in God's plan for us in the person and work of Christ constitutes a false belief system.
