We know that John was a disciple of Jesus. Not only that, but John was an eye witness to many of the miracles that Jesus performed on earth. John knew Jesus and travelled around with Him for three years.
John witnessed the crucifixion. John witnessed the risen Christ appearing to His disciples on many occasions. So John is fully qualified to warn us about the dangers of mixing with and listening to false teachers.
So it is still today. For many come in the name of Jesus Christ. But are they coming in the name of Jesus Christ? The man, fully human and fully GOD. Or are they coming with their own interpretation of Jesus?
The test is simple. Do you believe that Jesus was who the Bible tells us that He is. The CREATOR GOD. Part of the Divine and Righteous Trinity. GOD who was in the beginning. GOD who created the heavens and the earth. GOD who came to earth as a man, born of a virgin mother. Lived on earth for 33 years. Never sinned. Was and is the Messiah. Performed many miracles on earth including feeding multitudes from very little. Healed people. Raised people from the dead. Walked on water. And then He died for you and for me.
If the leader or teacher coming to you in your home or in your church does not believe any part of the above. Have nothing to do with them. Walk away. This is your salvation that we are talking about. And this your eternal life. Not the blimp of our earthly lives. But forever!
Prayer: Heavenly FATHER, I thank YOU for my Messiah. Jesus Christ. I thank YOU FATHER for YOUR grace and mercy in sending Jesus to be my Saviour so that I may spend eternity with YOU. I thank YOU in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Stay wondrously GOD blessed today!
