Deceived by the Senses (Genesis 3:6a)

Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church Season 4 Episode 17

Usually we assume that the only way we can know the truth is if we perceive if with our own sense. (Think of the saying, “I’ll believe it when I see it.”) But what the Fall into Sin makes clear is that the devil also uses our senses to deceive us about the true reality.
