True Salvation Verses Doctrines of Demons Part 1 of 2

Part 1 of 2

I were to summarize salvation in just a phrase it

would be running to the Open Arms of Jesus Christ.

Isaiah 45:22

“Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth:

 for I am God, and there is none else.”

It’s kind of where God invites us to come to him so that’s

salvation. The Open Arms of Christ running to Jesus as our only hope of

Salvation what’s the discipline of Truth making sure you run to the correct Jesus

because Satan’s goal is kind of like the the battle between the the huge department

 stores in New York City at one point. They were you know Macy’s and Gimbals

 or I don’t remember the names of them, but they were so big they were kind of

 knocking out all the other little retailers, so one small shop

lodged between those two Mega Department bought a sign and all it said is main

entrance and everyone started coming directly into his shop thinking they were going

to you know Macy’s and Gimbals back then. It was just that deceptive

sign you know that’s exactly what the devil does he knows that salvation is

running to Jesus. He just puts the main entrance sign over the wrong Jesus Jesus

and so think about this the discipline of Truth is guarding the gospel of Salvation

by the way there’s only one roadway Life Plan gate door whatever

you want to call it there’s only one salvation so we have to guard the gospel

of Salvation from demon doctrines that’s where we’re going to get to verse one of

1 Timothy CH 4

1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;

2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;

3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath

created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.

4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:

5 For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.

6 If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a

good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained.

7 But refuse profane and old wives’ fables, and exercise thyself rather  unto godliness.

8 For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto

 all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.

9 This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation.

10 For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the

living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe.

11 These things command and teach.

12 Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers,

 in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.

13 Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.

14 Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy,  with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.

15 Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy

profiting may appear to all.

16

Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.

From demon doctrines by declaring that salvation’s narrow path. Jesus said the way is narrow the way is difficult and the gate is straight that leads to life now Jesus himself gives us and we’re going to look at that in

Matthew 7

1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;

2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;

3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath

created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.

4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:

5 For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.

6 If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good  minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained.

7 But refuse profane and old wives’ fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness.

8 For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.

9 This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation.

10 For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe.

11 These things command and teach.

12 Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.

13 Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.

14 Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.

15 Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all.

16 Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.

Jesus said it’s a very small Target. Declare salvation’s narrow

path is only the real Lord Jesus Christ

because all the world religions talk about Jesus and so do all the Cults they just don’t Define him the way

the scriptures that you have before you define the real Lord Jesus Christ so that’s our Focus and so salvation the Bible says is a

person salvation remember when Jesus talks about salvation

John 17 near the very end of his Earthly Ministry he says

1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;

2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;

3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.

4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:

5 For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.

6 If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine,  whereunto thou hast attained.

7 But refuse profane and old wives’ fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness.

8 For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.

9 This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation.

10 For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe.

11 These things command and teach.

12 Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.

13 Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.

14 Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.

15 Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all.

16 Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.

This is life eternal that they may believe in thee the only true God even Jesus Christ whom thou has sent John 17:3 salvation is a person it’s not a prayer. It’s not having something done to you baptism, circumcision or joining the church. It’s not a feeling. It’s not a person talking to you and now the person’s

asking you to bow your head and say this pray. Or an event involves a declaration which comes in baptism. Salvation is not any of those things that we do.

It’s a person if you’ve never met and know the person Jesus. He said you are not saved and someday we’ll also see in

Matthew 7 he says

 I’ll say to you said the right words but you didn’t know me it’s

a person salvation. It is a person salvation is only through the right person he’s named the Lord Jesus Christ he is the creator of everything not just of this universe with this Adam and with this cross and with this Eve and this fall which is what the Cults teach that there are all kinds of jesuses out there and there are all kinds of universes out there.

The God Who made everything that there is and ever will be the Creator himself of everything not of our little whatever the Cults describe it as but of everything is how the Bible describes who Jesus is. He is the Lord Jesus Christ the creator of everything. He is the savior. He is God the son and he himself God the second person of the Trinity. The son who died as the true Lamb of God and by the way he’s also the final judge of all humans he is the one who began everything. He is the one who offers the way of Salvation.

 He is the one who is going to sit on that great white throne and say to you, I never knew depart from me. And each one, each human, one at a time will be cast in the Lake of Fire in front of Jesus Christ who is the final judge that’s what salvation is more than anything else knowing and believing and following and trusting the real Lord Jesus Christ is the only hope of Salvation

which takes us to

(1 Timothy 4)

Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; where we see in our Bibles and look what Paul says at the end of verse one. He says now the spirit expressly says that in the latter times some will depart from the faith giving heed to deceiving Spirits. Now look at the very last part of verse one. Doctrines of demons. I mean is it like a seance, we talking about witchcraft, here we talking about going to the terrot card or the horoscope person or getting all wound up in astrological something. Now whenever a Doctrine about Jesus Christ is presented by an Angel and that angel does not say what God’s word has already declared that’s a doctrine of demons. What I just described to you is how Islam was revealed to Muhammad, how Mormonism was revealed to Joseph Smith and how every

single time that any religion says that a creature came and revealed something to them and that creature does not agree with this revelation of God. Paul said that is a demon Doctrine you see it’s the main entrance to deceive everybody to go through the wrong door. That’s all satan wants to do. He doesn’t want to defeat God he knows. He can’t he’s smart all he wants to do is thwart the message of the Gospel of the true Jesus Christ and so Paul says watch out people are going to depart from the faith they’re going to give heed to deceiving Spirits they’re going to believe these doctrines of demons and that’s the history of the Titanic battle for the truth that’s gone on from the beginning I mean Satan started this way back in the Garden of Eden when he deceived Eve and

said to her ah you won’t die because of your sin. No you can be a God. I’m going  to really open your eyes if you follow me and see that lie is the the doctrine of demons that we found we find

woven into every false teaching every cult every world religion that has a a broad road that leads to whatever Paradise that they have thought of, well beware of doctrines from demons  and we’re living in a time when Paul said not only would people depart from historic Christianity but they would do so by listening to demon inspired false and eternally damnable teachings.

Let’s go to another passage.

Look at at second John that you know it goes 2 John Chapter 1

We’re studying in 2 John as you turn there think of how vital the topic of what we’re looking at is our Eternal souls are tied to trusting the right person think about that. It’s not saying the right words. It’s making sure the words we say are properly defined biblically because as you’ll see this morning everybody is

basically saying kind of similar words but what they mean by them is absolutely categorically different and that’s the danger of

deception. You don’t deceive someone with blue currency if you’re going to if you’re going to fake American currency it can’t be blue or yellow. You got to start with the right color and and you’re just as closely as possible imitating it but you’re counterfeiting it you counterfeit the truth by getting so close as Jesus said if it would be possible to deceive even the elect. They would be deceived that’s how good the devil is and that’s how we need to be vitally concerned about the discipline of truth.

Satan is working in all of the immorality red light districts, humans don’t need any help in that division where Satan focuses is on religious deception that’s his realm and confusing people and getting them away from truth and getting them to not understand what God has said is Satan’s realm that’s why the very first exercise for spiritual health assigned by God to us in the church is the discipline of Truth and we are to study the truth, so we can recognize spiritual errors and cling to the doctrine of Christ. That’s what it’s called right here the doctrine of Christ is what we

are to cling to and as we cling to the doctrine of Christ, we will hear God speak and as we read second John we will feel the weight of what God is saying to us today because in this passage he says make sure individuals that you know the doctrine of Christ.

You cling to the doctrine of Christ and when you meet someone that comes to you that doesn’t declare the doctrine of Christ. You say you can’t even come into my house,

 I’m not even going to give you the the civility of a greeting because you are teaching a false Christ.

“Only one life to live and soon is past

Only what’s done for Christ will last!”

Hoping to make the time I have left count for the glory of God.
