So You Won't Be Led Astray

I was just reading in 2 Peter chapter 3 and ran across a verse that just blew me away. Do you want to know why there are so many people teaching false doctrine these days? It's right here...pay attention to the last part of this portion of scripture...

"Therefore, beloved, looking forward to these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, without spot and blameless; and consider that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation—as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given to him, has written to you, as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which untaught and unstable people twist to their own destruction, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures." (2 Peter 3:14-16)

And then Peter writes: "You therefore, beloved, since you know this beforehand, beware lest you also fall from your own steadfastness, being led away with the error of the wicked; but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ" (2 Peter 3:17-18)

THAT is why I keep on encouraging you to seriously study the scriptures and learn God's Truth for yourself...so you won't be led away with the error of the wicked!
