2 Peter 2:1–2 (ESV) — 1 But false prophets also arose among the people, just
as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in
destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon
themselves swift destruction. 2 And many will follow their
sensuality, and because of them the way of truth will be blasphemed.
NOTE: Peter reveals
a few characteristics of false teachers during the end times. False teachers
will exist in the end times, they might even increase. They will introduce
destructive new heresies. These are teachings that are not good for the body of
Christ, such as the acceptance of gender identity or homosexuality within the
body of Christ. They will encourage sensuality by teaching that our human
body's drives are important and are revealing to us needs that must be
fulfilled. It sounds good, but that kind of teaching encourages obesity,
laziness, and sexual immorality. They will blaspheme the way of truth, which
means that they will put outside-wisdom above the wisdom from God's word.
PRAYER: Father,
protect me from such teachings. Help me in the new year to see the evil and to
respond in a gracious manner.
