An excerpt from “Lindsey Zitzmann.com” entitled, “Deception And Discernment: Can Christians Be Deceived?” states: “Deception is creeping into the lives of Christians who aren’t firmly rooted in the Word of God. It’s a slippery slope– a “pretty path” leading to destruction.” The article may be viewed at: https://www.lindseyzitzmann.com/deception-and-discernment-can-christians-be-deceived [Reflection is based on the Bible Reference – Ephesians 5:6]
Application: “The Bible firmly speaks to the fact that the elect are protected by God from deceptions that would result in eternal separation from Christ. Paul tells us that God “chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him” (Ephesians 1:4); Peter says that the chosen “are protected by the power of God through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time” (1 Peter 1:5); and Jude says that the chosen are “beloved in God the Father, and kept for Jesus Christ” (Jude 1:1). The elect will persevere in God’s strength.” [Source: Can the elect be deceived (Matthew 24:24)? | GotQuestions.org ]
