Who is Israel-11

There is only one Savior and only one way to the Father. Yet, there are many religions and denominations that deny this truth. Let us continue this one way, one Savior unity.

Ephesians 4:1  Therefore I, the prisoner of the Lord, implore you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which you have been called, :2  with all humility and gentleness, with patience, showing tolerance for one another in love, 4:3  being diligent to preserve the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. 

:4  There is one body and one Spirit, just as also you were called in one hope of your calling; :5  one Lord, one faith, one baptism, :6  one God and Father of all who is over all and through all and in all.

Unity and the oneness is our faith are very apparent in this passage. We cannot become gods like some promote. Churches cannot claim that only they have the power to declare that they are the one faith while denying the clear teaching in the Bible. Why are there so many different beliefs that are so apart from one another and the Bible? Jesus warned us of this coming of deceit.

Matthew 24:3  As He was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, "Tell us, when will these things happen, and what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?" :4  And Jesus answered and said to them, "See to it that no one misleads you. :5  "For many will come in My name, saying, 'I am the Christ,' and will mislead many. 

The key word in this intro is many!

:6  "You will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not frightened, for those things must take place, but that is not yet the end. :7  "For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and in various places there will be famines and earthquakes. :8  "But all these things are merely the beginning of birth pangs. 

We are experiencing many wars and rumors today. Venezuela, Cuba, Greenland, Iran, Lebanon, Syria, Taiwan, and Ukraine.

:9  "Then they will deliver you to tribulation, and will kill you, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name. :10  "At that time many will fall away and will betray one another and hate one another. 4:11  "Many false prophets will arise and will mislead many. :12  "Because lawlessness is increased, most people's love will grow cold. 

:13  "But the one who endures to the end, he will be saved. :14  "This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come. 

There is no doubt that there are more false churches than solid Bible teaching churches today. True believers are only a small remnant today. Without a solid knowledge of all the Bible teaches us, we are prone to being deceived.

More next Saturday.
