What does it mean to make lies our refuge?

Answered in 1 source

Making lies our refuge refers to placing trust in false assurances instead of the true gospel of Jesus Christ.

Isaiah 28:15 describes how some people make 'lies' their refuge by trusting in their own works or a false understanding of salvation. These lies can manifest as misconceptions about God’s love, such as the belief that everyone is universally accepted by Him regardless of their relationship with Christ. This deceptive security will ultimately fail when faced with God's judgment, as noted in verses 17-19. True protection is only found when one acknowledges the reality of their sin and runs to Christ for refuge, accepting the truth as revealed in the gospel.
