People will be surprised

People will be surprised at our new lives and the changes in our behavior. They might “heap abuse” on us for not joining them in our former sinful behaviors (v. 4).

If they don’t trust in Christ, they will be the ones surprised on the Day of Judgment (v. 5). They will be held accountable for their sin and pay the just penalty of death (Rom. 6:23). “This is the reason the gospel was preached even to those who are now dead” (v. 6). This might sound confusing, but it just means that the gospel was preached to people who were alive but are now dead. They had a chance to receive Christ when they were alive, but that opportunity is now gone (Heb. 9:27). If they did receive Christ, then their spirits are now absent from the body and present with the Lord (see 2 Cor. 5:6–10).

>> Sometimes we get too comfortable with sin. We should long for our sanctification! We encourage you today to make a renewed commitment to Christlikeness.

False Teachers Among Us

2 Peter 2:1,3   But there were false prophets, too, in those days, just as there will be false teacher among you.

These teachers in their greed will tell you anything to get hold of your money. But God condemned them long ago and their destruction is on the way.   Living Bible Ephesians 5:11-12 11 Take no part in the worthless pleasures of evil and darkness, but instead, rebuke and expose them. 12 It would be shameful even to mention here those pleasures of darkness that the ungodly do.     False Teacher’s - Denominations       Now on another note, there are those that say this Bible is the right Bible and the rest are false and take verses and chapters out of context.     Reviews Bible Versions     Heresy or Heresies     Regarding False Teachers      Everyone’s a False Teacher Except Me     False Teachers Condemned     False Prophecy
