Why did people change the truth of God into a lie?
People changed the truth of God into a lie because they rejected God's revelation and, under Satan's influence, exchanged the Creator's truth for falsehood. They worshiped and served the creature more than the Creator, turning God-given norms into perversion. Consequently, God gave them up to lower levels of immoral behavior and vile affections.
Les explains that this exchange is connected to the descent into sexual immorality between male and female. The truth they changed is ultimately the very name of Christ Himself, who is the truth. God had put His stamp of approval on the marriage relationship in the Garden, and Scripture says the marriage bed is undefiled and honorable in all. But man took the God-given things and used them under the influence of the adversary, Satan. So they changed the truth of God into a lie, worshiped and served the creature more than the Creator. As a result, God gave them up to a yet lower level of lifestyle, namely vile affections.
Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
