2 Timothy 3:5, 'They will keep up the outward appearance of religion but will have rejected the inner power of it. Have nothing to do with people like that.'
We were warned about how the church would have those that are false Christians. These people have knowledge of the bible and in some cases truth. They pretend to be religious but are nothing but empty bodies on the inside. Their outward appearance may shine like they are holy people but inside are as dirty as the ground they walk on.
They do these things out of pride to boost their ego, gain popularity and recognition amongst the people who are weak and gullible enough to follow and believe in them. Jesus exposed these type of people when He addressed the Pharisees as follows:
Matthew 23:25-28, 'Alas for you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You who clean the outside of cup and dish and leave the inside full of extortion and intemperance. Blind Pharisee! Clean the inside of cup and dish first so that the outside may become clean as well.
‘Alas for you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You who are like whitewashed tombs that look handsome on the outside, but inside are full of dead men’s bones and every kind of corruption, In the same way you appear to people from the outside like good honest men, but inside you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.'
Be careful about people, teachers, pastors and others that are involved in the ministry. Test them and find out if they are preaching or teaching the truth by seeking the truth yourself. In the end, your salvation will depend on who you followed, was it Jesus or man?, and/or Who you believed in.
These End Times Bring Out Many Antichrists
