For I did not shrink from declaring to you the whole purpose of God. Be on guard for yourselves and for all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood. I know that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock; and from among your own selves men will arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them. Therefore be on the alert, remembering that night and day for a period of three years I did not cease to admonish each one with tears (Acts 20:27-31).
Prior to his emotional
departure from Ephesus, the Apostle Paul reminded the Ephesian Elders of
their vast responsibilities to their flock, part of which was to teach
sound doctrine and guard against false teachings. Paul knew that after
his departure, the door-knocking false teachers and false prophets would
enter in from the outside of the Church, spew their heresy-laden
doctrines, and attempt to undermine Paul's teachings and the truth of
God's word.
Paul covered all bases and left no stone unturned. He also warned the
Elders of the savage wolves (false brothers), rising up from
within the Church, whose perverted doctrines were designed to captivate,
compromise, ensnare, and draw men away from the truth.
To the discerning Christian, false teachings mock the authority of God's word and are extremely dangerous to the emotional, physical, and spiritual welfare of the believer. False teachings will drive the unsaved deeper into sin, further from God, and into eternal damnation.
2,000 years ago, Paul refused to compromise the truth of God's word. 2,000 years later, should 21st century Christians be any different?
