The Enduring Lie About God's Character
- Many Christians exchange the truth about God for the lie that he is not a kind, generous Father.
- This deception causes lasting spiritual weakness and unnecessary heaviness in believers.
Keep Your Gaze On The Father
- Do "eye the Father as love" by keeping your gaze fixed on God's loving character.
- This practice counters Satan's attack and restores assurance of the Father's affection.
