The Oldest Lie in the Book - How Social Media Is Repeating the First Sin

What if the same lie that led to the first sin in the Book of Genesis is still influencing your life today? After a powerful conversation with three Catholic priests, I was reminded of something most people overlook - the fall didn’t begin with the fruit, it began with doubt. The serpent didn’t force Eve to act. He made her question. He made her believe she wasn’t enough and that God was holding something back from her.

The Strategy Hasn’t Changed

That same strategy is alive and everywhere today. Only now, it’s amplified. We live in a world filled with social media, comparison, and constant pressure to be more. More successful, more attractive, more accomplished, more everything. And the message is subtle but powerful - what you have isn’t enough, and who you are isn’t enough.

The Modern-Day Trap

Every scroll, every post, every comparison can quietly reinforce that same lie. You start measuring your life against filtered highlights and unrealistic standards. You begin chasing things you didn’t even want before. And without realizing it, you’re pulled further from contentment, peace, and truth.

Why This Matters Spiritually

This isn’t just about confidence - it’s about faith. Because when you start believing you’re not enough, you also begin to question God’s plan, God’s timing, and even God’s presence in your life. Just like in Genesis, doubt opens the door. And once it’s open, it becomes easier to drift.

Recognizing the Lie

The truth is simple but powerful - you are enough because God created you with purpose. You are not behind. You are not lacking. You are not forgotten. The life you’re meant to live isn’t found in comparison, it’s found in trust.

Choose Truth Over Comparison

If you’ve ever felt like you’re constantly chasing more, comparing yourself to others, or falling short, you’re not alone. But you don’t have to stay there. You can recognize the lie for what it is and choose something different. Choose gratitude. Choose truth. Choose faith over doubt.

The enemy didn’t change his strategy - he just changed the platform. It’s the oldest con in the book, just with filters now. Don’t fall for it. Stay grounded in truth, stay focused on your purpose, and stay close to God - because He has already given you everything you need.
