Deception

2.      The Danger is Deception

a.      Deception will be the tool that divides those who believe from those who don’t. Over and over again the Spirit says regarding the last days “Don’t be deceived” Lk 21:8, 1Co 6:9, 2Co 11:3, Gal 6:7 2Tim 3:3, Jas 1:16, 2Thes 2:3

b.      False signs and wonders   Dt 13:2, 2 Thes 2:9, Mk 13:22, Jer 4:10, Lk 21:8, Rev 13:14, Mt 24:4, Mt 7:21-23

c.       False doctrine  1Tim 4:1, 2Tim 3:13, 2 Peter 3:17, Jude 4,18 etc.

d.      False Prophets and false Christs Mt 24:23,24, 2 Thes 2:3,9, 1Jn 2:18, 4:3

e.      Falling asleep Parable of the 10 virgins Mt 25:1-10, 2Peter 3:4 Remember Lot’s wife Lk17:32  Materialism lulls people to sleep. Those choking weeds.  How do we know we are not deceived? By definition no one knows that they are or are not deceived.

f.         Receive a love for the Truth. 2Thes 2:10 The whole epistle of 1 Jn is so that you might know. Believe and do.
