Scripture: 2 Corinthians 11: 3-5
3 But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent’s cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ. 4 For if someone comes to you and preaches a Jesus other than the Jesus we preached, or if you receive a different spirit from the Spirit you received, or a different gospel from the one you accepted, you put up with it easily enough. 5 I do not think I am in the least inferior to those “super-apostles.”
Scripture Commentary:
Paul tells the Corinthians that smooth talking messengers deceived them with their smooth talking and false message. The deceivers masquerade as angels from God.
Don’t be tricked by outward appearances.
Today Satan’s disciples are in disguise using the Word to entrap you by telling you what your flesh wants to hear and follow. Satan and his followers deceive you by appearing to be attractive, good and moral.
The picture they present is not the truth nor is it an accurate depiction of who they represent. Do they teach that Jesus Christ is God’s Only Begotten Son and that He died on the cross and rose on the third day? Do they teach that Jesus came into this world to save sinners?
If not, they are false teachers and not disciples of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Paul presented his credentials to the Corinthians to keep them from slipping into Satan’s hands. Who are you listening to?
