Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheeps clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. -Matthew 7:15 The hunters deception reminds me of Jesus words: Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheeps clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves (Matt. 7:15). False teachers do not bear the fruit of Gods Spirit (Gal. 5:22-23). Rather, they walk according to the flesh . . . and despise authority (2 Peter 2:10). They are bold, egotistical, and given to greed (vv.10,14). Ruled by their own desires, they exploit people by using deceptive words (v.3). The Bible says these wayward spiritual leaders are headed for destruction and will take many unsuspecting and undiscerning people with them (vv.1-2). Jesus, the Good Shepherd, rather than pursuing personal gain, laid down His life for His sheep. God does not want anyone to be misled by false teaching. He wants us to be aware of those who deceive, and follow Him instead-the true Shepherd of our souls. At the name of Jesus Every knee shall bow, Every tongue confess Him, King of glory now. Substitutes abound, but there is only one Christ.
