Beware of False Preachers

1 John 3:7

Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.

Your righteousness defines whether you are a righteous person or an evil person. There are a lot of false prophets and preachers around the world who would try to deceive you with their words but don’t fall into their snare. Satan is always looking to intrigue between God and us through false preachers, but to overpower him (satan), we should read the Bible and understand what is written in it and then come to a conclusion. Whoever supports what is written in the Bible and adheres to it should be heard but whosoever tries to manipulate with his words in the Bible should be cornered. We should always be circumspect about what we are listening and only nod with a “yes” once we have confirmed it through the Bible.

Whom to serve....

Judges 10:13

Yet ye have forsaken me, and served other gods: wherefore I will deliver you no more.

Here don’t get confused with other gods as only “idols”, but understand the seriousness of the verse wherein it says “served other gods”. Other gods may wary from money to materialistic possession to loving a person so much that you keep him above our True God. Jesus knows our heart inside out (John 2:25). What matters is what is inside our heart and not what we speak from our mouth; that’s why we always say “our actions speak louder than words”. Whatever is in our heart ultimately our deeds will be according to that only and not what we speak. When we give our life to Jesus; confession through the mouth isn’t enough. One should adhere to his commandments and act upon those to ultimately attain salvation. What is the use of accepting him verbally and still keeping the money as the priority in your heart? For Jesus to work in you; you should first of all surrender to him fully.

Promise till Eternity

Romans 6:8

Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:

This verse is especially for those who still have slightest of doubt as to whether we would attain heaven or hell after our physical death. Remember, when you die with Jesus; i.e. living your life for him, you would definitely live with him not only on earth but also will get to live with him in heaven. That is the grace of our Lord Jesus. Once you accept him fully; he would never ever leave you. Now, that testifies his immense love and compassion for us. All you have to do is accept him without any skepticism and he will be with you forever and ever. Remember that your doubts would only cast shadows on his unending love towards you. Rejoice in his faithfulness and his eternal friendship. Things of this world including people would betray you or leave you, but our mighty Lord Jesus would never forsake us.
