2:1-3

Today's Scripture

There will always be people who teach false things about the gospel. The truth will always come under attack. We should not be surprised when we hear that people have taken the truth and changed it in some way. Though it should hurt us to see such deceit, it should not surprise us.

So, how do we prepare ourselves for such false teachings? The answer is we know the truth well. Know the gospel and the Scripture so that when someone comes along with something that doesn't sound quite right, you'll know what's wrong. So, like Peter keeps telling us, grow in your knowledge of God. It will protect you when false teaching comes your way.
