I just got the thought that when we find a lie of the devil, and think about what God told us before, and then know where the devil lied, we can have reinforced believe in what God told us and in how He is.
When the devil asked Eve if she and Adam were allowed to eat from all trees in the garden, he kinda made the suggestion that they were not allowed. God only told them to abstain from the tree of knowledge, that was all. In the same manner, we christians can go to concerts, eat out in restaurants, walk the park and have a decent party and sleep in haystacks. It's all not forbidden.
The result of loving God, and of recognizing a lie as a lie, and remembering the original commandment, is to get closer to God, because God doesn't leave us alone. And we even understand again that we can do so many things, like going to concerts and eating out, is due to God making it possible and not considering it bad.
We have been made by a loving God, and He watches over us. He will not leave or forsake us in Jesus for eternity.
