LIE #4: “God Helps Those Who Help Themselves”

 

Where did this lie come from? Is it in the Bible? No, but you will find a form of it in the Koran: “Indeed, Allah will not change the conditions of a population until they change what is in themselves” (Ar-Ra’d 13:11). This lie about God has its roots in pagan religion. Five hundred years before Christ, Aesop wrote, “The gods help them that help themselves.” Our current wording was used by the deist Ben Franklin, who said in Poor Richard’s Almanac, “God helps those who help themselves.” Satan often couches his lies in half-truths. We seek to expose this lie and to give an answer for the hope that we have!
