Deceived Until the End
We live in a world that has lost its way. Many are being deceived. But God has given us His truth; He has shown us how to live.

We live in a world that says there is neither right nor wrong, and only relative truth. To avoid being swept along by postmodernism you’ll need the discernment and direction found in the Bible.
We struggle with the same conflict John wrote of in his first letter: the battle between truth and error, between orthodoxy and heresy.
See how clearly 1 John 2:15-18 describes the disturbing realities of our times, and discover how to navigate our way.
In the first two chapters, John was kind and gracious with his readers. Then, however, John got down to brass tacks.
Though almost at the century mark, John continued to be known for his Christlike life and love.
Because John had “seen it all,” this old gentleman was able to offer some elementary rules all of us would be wise to hear and obey.
How do we sift and sort truth from error? Do we all have to be biblical scholars in order to avoid falling into deception and error? And how do we respond to error?
From 1 John 2:1–2, Pastor Chuck Swindoll defines Jesus’ role as our representative. Unlike a typical go-between, however, Jesus loves us with an everlasting love because He personally paid all our debts.
John is urging his readers to think and plan ahead: to realize that the Lord's return is an inescapable reality which we can face with assurance, not shame.
