Are you listening to the ear tickling preachers of our day or are you spending time in the New Testament, discovering what Jesus and his apostles said for us to do and not do? Do you know the scriptures? If you do not, you are already deceived in many areas. Jesus has warned us in advance “See to it that no one deceives you". You should not be getting your doctrines from a man, especially the teachers of this generation. We have the bible, the Word of God.
We are to assemble with other believers, but if we do not know the scriptures we will not know if the other believers are telling the truth. This is about our souls and our eternal destiny. First and foremost you must repent of your sin and follow Jesus, doing what he said to do. Protect your eyes and ears from the world's TV, music, magazines, etc. Get into the scriptures and obey God. He will guide you if you if you are humbly sincere.
Times of great trouble are coming. If you do not know what the scriptures teach, how will you be able to be obedient to God? How will you be able to "endure to the end and be saved" as Jesus says in verse 14? If you think saying a sinners prayer and going on with your life as you choose will save you, you do not know the scriptures and are deceived. I say this with great love for you. True love warns. You are the reason I write my blog. It is focused on the Word of God. Trust only the scriptures. Not a man.
Matthew 24 ISV
- 4Jesus answered them, “See to it that no one deceives you, 5because many will come in my name and say, ‘I’m the Messiah,’c and they will deceive many people. 6You’ll hear of wars and rumors of wars. See to it that you aren’t alarmed. These things must take place, but the end hasn’t come yet, 7because nation will rise up in arms against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8But all these things are only the beginning of the birth pains.”
- 9“Then they’ll hand you over to sufferd and will kill you, and you’ll be hated by all the nationse because of my name. 10Then many people will fall away, will betray one another, and will hate one another. 11Many false prophets will appear and deceive many people, 12and because lawlessness will increase, the love of many people will grow cold. 13But the person who endures to the end will be saved. 14And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the world as a testimony to all nations,f and then the end will come.”
