What does it mean to trust in lying words?

Answered in 1 source

Trusting in lying words refers to believing false assurances about one's righteousness that contradict God's truth.

The phrase 'lying words' signifies the reliance on deceptive notions that falsely assure individuals of their righteousness before God. Jeremiah 7:4 illustrates this when the people proclaim, 'The temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord are these,' as if their physical presence in the temple granted them a right standing with God. Such beliefs diminish the holiness of God and misrepresent the nature of salvation, leading to a false sense of security. Trusting in lying words ultimately results in spiritual complacency, where the urgency of repentance and faith in Christ is overlooked.
