False Teaching
“This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come” (2 Timothy 3:1).
It is an exceedingly sorrowful fact that in these “last days” everything is being called in question. Even the most important and vital truths of Christianity are being attacked, and, as a result, the minds of many true believers — old and young — are being shaken. Many who truly love our Lord Jesus Christ, who truly desire to do His will and to hold nothing but the truth, are in perplexity at the present time because of theories that are being circulated around them.
For this reason, we need, perhaps more than ever, to have the truth of God’s Word firmly established in our minds and hearts. The third chapter of Second Timothy begins with what characterizes the days in which we find ourselves, but the end of the chapter gives us the safeguard against false teaching. “All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works” (2 Timothy 3:16-17). Read that Word, meditate on it, let it speak to your heart and conscience, and you will be preserved from the false doctrines that are afoot today.
