The biggest lie ever told is "have faith in yourself"!
A corollary to that is: "live your life the way you want to."
Jesus presented "the Greatest Commandment and the one like unto it". The commandment to love God, and its corollary - love others.
Compare the Greatest Commandment to The Greatest Deception. The former is God-centered; the latter self-centered. Mankind's greatest problem is ourselves. Why then, "have faith in ourselves", and "live the way we want to"? That is foolishness because doing that, we will die, as God warned.
Satanism's motto of the Greatest Deception is "Do what thou wilt!" Since Adam and Eve, that's what mankind is tempted to do and most often does. Most succumb to pleasure, choosing to take the wrong of the two choices - doing their own will rather than God's will. The latter is the Way less traveled, and the gate there is straight - God's will to walk God's Way.
Those who propagate this law of sin are deceived themselves. They do the devil's work for him. It is rebellion of the Law of God, and the penalty is death - forever!
Society sticks clever little seemingly benign slogans into everyday life as a means of propagating our independence. We are not independent - we all will die unless we have faith in God. Having faith in ourselves is non-saving. To be saved, requires faith in God. When one comes to realize that no one can't save themselves, but Jesus can, that is being "born-again". Those who continue to trust in themselves are lost, and thus damned!
What is accomplished by having faith in yourself? Maybe success, for a limited time, but death in the long-term. You all will indeed surely die!
