Doesn’t the bible warn that even the elect could be fooled? How can we keep our focus on Christ without falling for the devils lies?
“Doesn’t the bible warn that even the elect could be fooled? How can we keep our focus on Christ without falling for the devils lies?”
Ultimately, the elect cannot be fooled to the point of death, observe:
Mat_24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
IF it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Keep in mind that God drew us forward to Himself personally. We did not seek God of our own free-will. He called us first, and then we followed. Christians are certainly fallible creatures who must pray and stick to their bibles, but I doubt that I’ll ever see any of the elect bowing before old Joey Smith or any of the superstar pastors who lead them astray.
