Book of 2 PeterSample
THOSE WHO ARE DECEIVED
But it has happened to them according to the true proverb: “A dog returns to his vomit,” and, “a sow, having washed, to her wallowing in the mire.” (2 Peter 2:22)
The Bible says that there will be deceivers in the last days who will try to control the world by entering all existing institutions, be it schools, organizations, governments, and even churches. What these heretics offer are virtues of kindness which are full of falsehoods. The devil's game has always been this way. He likes to offer virtues and tolerance, that upon further observation, are contrary to the holiness of God.
The Bible also says that the devil is the father of lies and there is no truth in him. The devil can disguise himself as an angel of light. He is a lion in sheep's clothing. Jesus also said that in the last days, the deceivers with false teachings will appear. They will pull away Christians who do not know God and mislead them by using Bible verses that seem to support their sinful acts.
In other words, God's people are swayed into agreeing on the values or actions of the world based on "love". This is fake love. Jesus teaches us to love humans and hate their sins or evil deeds. The devil misleads us by asking us to love humans and to agree with their immoral lives.
If we have already known that it's rotten rubbish, are we going to let that trash remain in our homes? Do we still want to eat rotten food? Will children, who have taken a bath be allowed by their parents to play with dirt again? If we are full of God's word and the Holy Spirit, then we will have an understanding of God's will in this life.
Do not live in the gray area, let us walk in the pure light of His righteousness
