Wolf In Sheep’s Clothing

July 11th – Proverbs 30:6

Proverbs 30:6

Do not add to his words, lest he rebuke you and you be found a liar.”

As the days get closer to the Lord’s return, Jesus warns about the increase of false teachers. (Matt. 24:24) Whether it’s an ear tickling gospel, a prosperity gospel, or a works based gospel, if it doesn’t line up with God’s gospel, it is a false gospel. These false gospels keep us chained to rules and laws. And feed us lies that there are many roads to God. False gospels tell us that through our own efforts we can earn everlasting life. The consequences of heeding these false teachings can be severe. Because they can lead to spiritual confusion, moral compromise, and a departure from the true path of faith. To protect ourselves from the influence of these wolves in sheep’s clothing, we must diligently study the Bible, seeking to understand its context, message, and teachings. By grounding ourselves in God’s Word and relying on the guidance of the Holy Spirit, we can navigate through the deceitful tactics of false teachers and remain firmly rooted in the unchanging truth of God’s Word.

May 23rd – 2 John 1:8

2 John 1:8

Throughout history there have been false teachers and wolves in sheep’s clothing. Those who deny the authority of Jesus and spread false doctrines. John tells us to watch out for such people. Because following them and their twisted scriptures can cause us to lose our rewards. Not the reward of salvation, for that is secure through the blood of Jesus, but instead our spiritual rewards. John cautions that we need to always be on alert and check all we hear against what the Bible actually says. Abiding in Jesus means abiding in His Word. And the knowledge of God’s Word is the best defense against any attack of deceit from the Enemy!
