Sin Is Falsehood

SIN is falsehood, and Satan is the great falsifier of the universe. Jesus said to the Jews, “Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.” He not only speaks a lie, but he is himself a falsehood. Sin is a departure from the truth, and no man can be true before God, as God looks at truth, and be found in sin. A Christian is simply a man of truth; a sinner is simply a liar. Christ was the truth because in him was found no sin.
