Devotional verses from Matthew's Gospel
For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
Matthew 24:24
There are days coming in this world when false religion will be so pervasive, and so captivating, that even people who truly believe in Jesus as Savior, in their hearts, will be in danger of being deceived. Those most awful days of deception are in the future for this world, but I think all Christians can conceive that even today there are those who might be what we call weak Christians, and honest seekers, or even sometimes very dedicated knowledgeable believers in Christ, who for whatever reason might be deceived into believing false religion. The words of Jesus to his disciples in Gethsemane are an appropriate caution in this day: Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
Matthew 26:41
