Be not deceived

Gal_6:7  Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

Deu 11:16  Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them

1Co_15:33  Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.

Deu 4:9  Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life: but teach them thy sons, and thy sons' sons

Deu_11:16  Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them

Luk_21:8  And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them.

Be NOT deceived!

Tit 3:3  For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.
Tit 3:4  But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,
Tit 3:5  Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
Tit 3:6  Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
Tit 3:7  That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
Tit 3:8  This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men.
Tit 3:9  But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.

We can't allow ourselves to be deceived. It's so easy to let ourselves be caught up in deception because it's easy, much easier than facing the truth.

It's not by any works of righteousness we might think we do, but by the MERCY of our God who took on flesh, divesting Himself of His Spirit life to be forever after FLESH like we are.  By the Son's mercy we are SAVED.

We can't deceive ourselves into believing that if we are only *good enough* everything will be okay, that's not the truth. Christ our Lord alone is GOOD enough!

More on this tomorrow by the GRACE of our LORD and SAVIOR.

All in the name of our GOD.

All in HIS LOVE.
