PRESENTATION OUTLINE

The first sin
was a result of
the first deception.

In the garden, Satan (the deceiver) got at Eve by making her think that she was missing out on something.

His deception made her feel worth less, like she had to make up for something she was lacking, like God wasn't enough.

"You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor." Exodus 20:16

Why would this be in the ten commandments? And why does it matter to us today?

God knew that in order for his community to succeed, honesty needed to be one of the most important things.

Jesus came to set you free from sin. And to set you free to bring life to this world.

Deception is not bringing life to the world.

Deception brings death. It brings distrust.
