Sincerely Wrong!

Scripture

2 John 1

10 If anyone comes to your meeting and does not teach the truth about Christ, don’t invite that person into your home or give any kind of encouragement. 11 Anyone who encourages such people becomes a partner in their evil work.

Observation

Have you met them? They are very sincere. They work very hard. They go door to door to tell people what to believe. The problem is that these sincere people are sincerely wrong. And what they teach about Christ is not the truth. If you teach truth but add error to it then it is no longer the truth.

These people twist the truth. They also have made changes in the scriptures to fit their story. To them Jesus is the Son of God, but Jesus is not God. To this group of sincere people Jesus is a created being just like you and I are created being. They go door to door with a message that is not the truth.

We are warned in this passage not to open the door to them. Not to receive them into our homes and not to encourage them. Don't encourage them by taking their literature. Don't encourage them by letting them present their message of mis-truths.

You don't have to be rude to them, but sometimes they don't leave a person any other choice because they may want to argue and you may have to abruptly cut them off and shut the door. It is better to do that than listen to their false message.

Application

I will continue to share the Good News of Jesus Christ. I will continue to share the truth. How about you?

Prayer

Heavenly Father, help me to be as sincere as those folks that knock on our doors with untruths about You and Your Son. Give me boldness. Give me love for people of every walk of life. Help me accomplish today what You want me to do. Give me energy to do the things that please You.
