Wolves/False Teachers

Matthew 7:15-20 (NLT)

15 “Beware of false prophets who come disguised as harmless sheep but are really vicious wolves. 16 You can identify them by their fruit, that is, by the way they act. Can you pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17 A good tree produces good fruit, and a bad tree produces bad fruit. 18 A good tree can’t produce bad fruit, and a bad tree can’t produce good fruit. 19 So every tree that does not produce good fruit is chopped down and thrown into the fire. 20 Yes, just as you can identify a tree by its fruit, so you can identify people by their actions."

Jesus warned us to Beware of false teachers. But a false teachers doesn't just jump out on stage and say "Look at me, I'm a false teacher!!!" Too bad it's not that easy to spot one, but it's not, because they are disguised. Which means they come across as someone that is very likable, friendly, thoughtful, inspirational and even genuine.

We are told to beware of these teachers for a reason. They lead people to believe that they are on the straight and narrow path that leads to life but they are really leading them down the broad and wide highway that ends in destruction. Matthew 7:13-14

The true Gospel of Jesus Christ points you toward HIM, toward BELIEVING IN HIM, TRUSTING IN HIM and LOVING HIM with all your heart, mind and soul. Anything else is not truth. It is a false gospel and those that teach another gospel is a false teacher and a vicious wolf.
