Growing in the Knowledge of the Goodness of God (Melanie Watson)

Deception twists the words of God to feed our desire to create our own definition of good. Deception convinces us that the words of God are not for our protection, and they are merely guidelines we may choose to follow or ignore without consequence while we forge our own path toward our own destination of good. When we aren’t growing in the knowledge of the goodness of God, we leave ourselves open to deception that gives us the power to define what is good. But deception robs us of the knowledge of how good God really is. We should never stop growing in the knowledge of the goodness of God.
