How can we tell who’s who?
"Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves."
False teachers abound today. They have huge followings on their YouTube channels, Instagram accounts, or church auditoriums on Sunday mornings. And if we are not on the alert, we just might mistake them for the real thing.
The Warning Jesus Gave
Jesus warned His followers to watch out for false prophets or religious teachers who will attempt to infiltrate the church and lead believers astray through bad doctrine, greedy living, or a spirit contrary to God’s.
In Matthew 7:15, Jesus firmly warned us to beware of the false prophets, who come to us NOT looking like the devil, but like innocent sheep. In fact, in 2 Corinthians 11:14 it says:
"And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light."
