“Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth” (2 Timothy 3:7).
Since the Lord Jesus was rejected, Satan has been recognized and called both the god and prince of this world. He is the god of this world religiously and the prince of this world politically. He makes sure that people in this world have plenty to occupy their minds, and that they are “ever learning.”
In the past we had many books that were available to us, more than we could ever read, but in the last twenty-five years or so we have had the internet, cell phones and other social media, all of which have greatly increased our ability to take in and process information. However, Satan takes care that most of this information does not take us any closer to the truth; rather, it all has to do with life in this world. Only in Christ and through the Word of God do we obtain the real truth about everything. We may learn many things through social media, but we must learn the truth from God Himself, through the Bible and in Christ.
