Don't Be Deceived By The Lie!

The Bible clearly says that in the end times there will be false teacher's. We have seen an increase in this and it will even get worse as the time of Christ's return approaches. How do we recognize a false teacher? He will teach a different Jesus than the Jesus of the Bible. All false religions have this in common, they deny what the Bible clearly tells us about Jesus. They will say that He was a good man, or a good teacher, or one of the prophets. But they will deny that He Is God the Son, who came in the flesh to give His life for all who would believe on His name. Jesus warned us not to be deceived by these false teacher's.
Matthew; 24:4
(And Jesus answered and said to them: "Take heed that no one deceives you.)

1John; 2:22
(Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist who denies the Father and the Son.)

The only way not to be deceived is to get yourself informed on what God has to say. There are many ways to do this but the best way is to study the Word of God. Ask God to reveal Himself to you as you study His Word. Then get Yourself involved with a Bible teaching church. You will be taught the truth from the Word of God and also you will be around other fellow believers. When you attend church, bring your Bible with you or ask if they have one you can use. Follow along with the teaching and see if their teaching is in alignment with God's Word. In other words, filter what is said through the Word of God and see if they are telling the truth.

If you haven't already done so, ask Jesus into your heart. Confess that you are a sinner and that you need a Savior. Repent and tell Jesus that you are sorry for your sins and ask Him to forgive you and be your Savior. Tell Him that you want Him to be Lord of your life and you want to follow Him. Thank Him for giving you eternal life. No matter what others may say, Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life.
1John; 5:11-12
(And this is the testimony; that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.)

1John; 4:9
(In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him.)

God Bless You!

Solomon's Wisdom

Ecclesiastes; 12:13-14
(Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter; Fear God and keep His commandments, For this is man's all. For God will bring every work into judgment, Including every secret thing, Whether good or evil.)

Solomon through the book of Ecclesiastes was warning the people to look to God for wisdom and not to rely on their own. You can spend your whole life doing your thing only to find out at the end of your life it doesn't count. God has a plan for all of us and if we don't look to Jesus, we very well could miss out on the blessing that God has in store for us.

Solomon said for us to fear God and keep His commandments. Great wisdom if we would only do just that. Why don't we obey God and keep His commandments? Probably because we want to have it our way. This attitude will lead us on the road to destruction. God tells us that if we truly love Him we will keep His commandments.
John; 14:21
(He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father , and I will love him and manifest Myself to him.")

How can we say that we love Jesus and not do His will? When you ask Jesus into your life, He makes you a totally new person. The Holy Spirit comes into your life and enables you to say no to sin and say yes to Jesus. Our life here on earth is short, let's spend it fearing God and being obedient to Him. Remember, God has given us life, health, our family, and the greatest gift of all, eternal life in Jesus. Only through Him can we have this life.
1John; 5:11-12
(And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.)

No matter what the world say, Jesus is the way the truth and the life, if you want to live in Heaven, you must come to Him. It's easy!!!!
John; 3:16-17
(For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.)

God Bless You!
