My friends, each of us—deep down—should genuinely prove what we believe. For again and again, God’s word tells us that Satan the devil “deceives the whole world” (Revelation 12:9); that Satan will soon be imprisoned so that “he should deceive the nations no more” (Revelation 20:3); that Satan is the “god” of this present age who has blinded those who do not believe (2 Corinthians 4:4) and that Satan has false ministers who will present “another Jesus,” a “different spirit” and “different gospel” (2 Corinthians 11:4).
When eternal life is involved, we need to be sure about what we believe. So, we should cry out to God for genuine understanding. Then we should be willing to follow the Truth—wherever it may lead. With God’s help, each of us will need to exercise real faith and courage to actually do that.
