The Power to Protect

“But you must continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of…” 2 Timothy 3:14.

With a fury, the Devil is working to infiltrate our churches with many false doctrines. How can we live protected and not fall prey to his subtle endeavors in attempting to mislead the church of Christ today? There is only one way - by constantly feeding on the Word of God. It’s truly that simple. The Word of God has the full and complete power to protect us from everything that is false, from all error, and sin. In Acts 20:29-32, Paul warns the elders at Ephesus of the false teachings that would most certainly creep in among them. In His closing commendation to them, he states: “to God and to the Word of His grace.” And in his letter to Timothy, he writes:

“But evil men and imposters will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. But you must continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them, and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.” 2 Timothy 3:13-15

Walking With God:
If you will feed on the Word of God, saturating your life constantly in its truth and power, the Word will protect your mind, heart, and spirit from being deceived. It is through simple neglect of the Word that leaves so many believers falling prey to false teachings, doctrines and “knowledge that puffs up” that Satan, in all his scheming and subtley ways, is always at work in trying to invade the Church of Christ. You do not have to be deceived, so … live in God’s Word! Keep a Bible with you - in your car, in your purse, and in your desk at work. Read it throughout the day, and watch how your life will be transformed ~ drastically! Read, love, trust and obey God’s Word … it has the power to protect.
