Yet there is another player in the Story—an intruder, a deceiver, a tempter, a mortal enemy of the King—who speaks a Terrible Lie.2 He tells Adam and Eve that the King cannot be trusted. He says the love of God is not genuine and his word is not true. “Don’t listen to him,” the liar whispers. “Find your own way. Make your own rules. Satisfy your own desires. Freedom awaits you. Be like God.”
