Deceitful Workers

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.” 1 Peter 1:3 (NKJV)

In the precious and beautiful name of Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings.

For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ. And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light. 2 Corinthians 11:13-14 (NKJV)

How does one know the difference between “deceitful workers” and those preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ in truth, when the message appears to agree with Jesus’ teachings?

The key is to trust the [Bible] is sufficient as is.

People have the freedom to say whatever they like about Jesus.  Call it free will.  The [Bible] sets the record straight.  You either choose to believe in Jesus according to the [Scriptures], or you do not, that is to salvation. 

A message will appear to agree with Jesus’ teachings, when it lines up with what one has been taught to believe about Jesus.  If a person is not willing to crosscheck what’s being said with the [Bible], there’s a good chance they won’t know if they’re on the right side of Jesus’ teachings.

Some “deceitful workers” will have [absolutely] nothing to do with the [Biblical] Jesus others will encourage people to take the Anthanasian Creed bait, causing them to doubt their salvation.  

If someone says they’ve learned from top Christian leaders, would you believe everything they say about Jesus?  Sadly enough, some have.  The one that has experienced God’s amazing grace for themselves, that is saved according to the [Scriptures], should never believe everything they hear, let alone doubt their salvation unless it is [Biblically] sound.

If a message is pointing you to the cross, on which you know [believe] Messiah Yeshua “Jesus” died for you, give thanks to God. 

God bless.
