Where Are You Getting Your Worldview From?
When we filter everything through past hurts, rejections, and experiences, we find it impossible to believe God. We cannot believe He means what He says. We doubt His goodness and faithfulness since we judge Him by the standards set by man in our lives. But God is not a man! He cannot lie (Num. 23:19). His ways are not like ours, and His thoughts are not ours (Isa. 55:8–9).
Offended people can find Scripture passages to back their position, but it is not the correct division of God’s Word. The knowledge of God’s Word without love is destructive because it puffs us up with pride and legalism (1 Cor. 8:1–3). This causes us to justify ourselves rather than repent of our unforgiveness.
This creates an atmosphere in which we can be deceived because knowledge without the love of God will lead to deception. Jesus warns of false prophets immediately after His statement of many being offended: “Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many” (Matt. 24:11). Who are the many they will deceive? The answer: the offended whose love has grown cold (Matt. 24:12).
Jesus calls false prophets “wolves in sheep’s clothing” (Matt. 7:15). They are self-seeking men who give the appearance of being Christians (sheep’s clothing) but have the inward nature of a wolf. Wolves like to hang around sheep. They can be found in the congregation as well as in the pulpit. The enemy sends them to infiltrate and deceive. They must be identified by their fruits, not by their teachings or prophecies. Often the teaching can appear sound, whereas the fruit in their lives and ministries is not. A minister or a Christian is what he lives, not what he preaches.
But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be . . .unforgiving . . . having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!...For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth. —2 Timothy 3:1–5; 4:3–4
Notice that they will have a form of godliness or “Christianity,” but they will deny its power. How will they deny its power? They deny that Christianity can change them from being unforgiving to forgiving. They will boast of being followers of Jesus and proclaim their “new birth” experience, but what they boast of has not been allowed to pierce their hearts and bring forth the character of Christ.
And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another. —Matthew 24:10
