2 Thessalonians 2:9-10
The coming of the lawless one is by the activity of Satan with all power and false signs and wonders, 10 and with all wicked deception for those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved.
The core issue of unbelief is not loving the truth. Knowing the truth is necessary because you cannot love what you do not know, but it is not enough to merely know it. You must love it. The indictment against unbelief is that it refuses to give its affections to what is true. It may know the truth but still prefer the lies of idolatry it has grown accustomed to.
