Meaning and Context
This verse is part of the Revelation 22 vision of the New Jerusalem, describing those who are outside the city. The list includes various moral and spiritual failures, culminating in “everyone who loves and practices falsehood”

Bible Hub

In biblical terms, “loving a lie” means a deep affection for deception, falsehood, and distortion of truth, not just occasional lying

thetranslationalert.org
. The Greek term philōn (loves) and pseudos (falsehood) in the original text emphasize both the love for and the practice of deceit

Bible Hub

Biblical Teaching on Lies
The Bible consistently teaches that lying is contrary to God’s truth:

John 8:44 – “The devil is the father of lies.”

Genesis 3:4 – The serpent’s first recorded lie.

Acts 5:1–11 – Ananias and Sapphira’s lie led to immediate judgment.

According to commentary, “loving a lie” is the hate of truth and aligns with the devil’s nature

thetranslationalert.org
. It is not merely telling a falsehood, but originating, sustaining, and enjoying deception.

Application
For believers, this verse is a warning:

Avoid rooting in falsehood — both in speech and in thought.

Recognize that truthfulness is part of the character of God and of the life of the redeemed.

Repent from any love for deception, as it places one in the same category as other grave sins listed in Revelation 22:15

thetranslationalert.org

In summary: Revelation 22:15 identifies “everyone who loves and practices falsehood” as outside the New Jerusalem, underscoring the biblical principle that truth is essential to the life of the redeemed, and deception is incompatible with God’s kingdom.
