“THE SIMPLICTY IN CHRIST” Could You Be Deceived? One significant factor among Christians today is that they do not believe they could be deceived. Other people may be, but not them. Millions who profess Christianity today pay little heed to Jesus’ warning in, (Mat.24:4-5,11,24) Jesus said, (v.4) “Take heed that no one deceives you. (v.5) For many will come in My name, saying, I am the Christ, and will deceive many.” Jesus did not say a few would be deceived. He said many. How do you know you are not deceived? And what are the ways and means by which you could be? The warning continues, (v.11) “Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many”. (v.24) “For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect”. (2 Peter. 2:1) “But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction”. (2 Peter:3:17) “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”. (Rev. 12:9) “So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him”. These Scriptures warn us that if Christians are not on guard for religious deception, they can be deceived. If Christians can be deceived, what are the most likely ways by which deception could come?
