Neither is there salvation in any other:
for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. Acts 4:12
People get confused about God sometimes.
They believe what they think instead of believing the Word of God.
There is no other God beside the One, True, Living God, Jesus Christ.
Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared it?
ye are even My witnesses. Is there a God beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not any. Isaiah 44:8
Humbling ourselves before the word of God, the Bible takes effort. It also takes faith.
It can be easy to dismiss the things you do not like in the Bible
because they do not jive with what you think or believe.
I heard a new Christian who said the Bible was written by men.
That thought seemed to give him the right to dismiss all things that he did not like or agree with.
God has protected His word.
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 2 Timothy 3:16
Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man:
but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. 2 Peter 1:20-21
If we choose not to believe the truth,
God Himself will send a strong delusion so we will believe what is false.
Who wants that?
Here is the scripture that declares that truth:
And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish;
because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
2 Thessalonians 2:10-12
Now I understand why Paul said this:
My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you, Galatians 4:19
God bless and protect all the new believers who are coming into the fold in these last days.
In Jesus’ precious name, Amen.
