A Warning Against False Teachers
Manage episode 430032588 series 1030904
In this sermon, we examined the Apostle John's warning against being led astray by false teachers who proclaim a different message than the gospel. While the early church was on the lookout for a specific antichrist figure, John wanted them to understand that anyone who denies Christ is against Him and should be considered an antichrist. Additionally, we learned about John's specific warning against Gnosticism, a prevalent heresy in the early church. All believers, both then and now, need to recognize the significance of not only focusing on large, obvious lies but also remaining vigilant against smaller deceptions that can creep into our minds daily. We are encouraged to abide in Christ and to have assurance of our salvation, clinging to the promise of eternal life that it brings. This assurance does not stem from our own special knowledge or actions but from the finished work of Jesus on the cross.
