What does the Bible say about being deceived?

Answered in 4 sources

The Bible describes the lost person as being deceived regarding their sinfulness, the nature of God, and the way to salvation.

The Apostle Paul, in his letter to Titus, highlights that all unregenerate individuals are characterized by being deceived. This deception manifests in a misunderstanding of God's holiness and the gravity of their sinfulness. A lost person may believe they are righteous, yet the truth reveals their hearts are 'deceitful above all things' (Jeremiah 17:9), leading them to err and reject the gospel. Moreover, they remain unaware of the judgment they face and the true nature of salvation found only in Christ, perpetuating their separation from God.
