2 John 1:10 (NKJV) 10 If anyone comes to you and does not bring this doctrine, do not receive him into your house nor greet him;

Have you ever had someone ring your doorbell or knock on your door, bringing you “another gospel”?

Most of us have probably had this happen at some point in time.

Over the years, I have handled this in various ways, ranging from completely ignoring them, to answering my door and spending time talking with them.

Many times I have answered the door simply because I didn’t want to be rude or discourteous.

I did this once fairly recently and it turned out that the people on the other side of the door ended up being rude and discourteous to me.

As I was studying during a recent evening, I came upon this section of 1 John that made it abundantly clear as to how to handle this in the future. The first verse I read was this one:

2 John 7 (NKJV) 7 For many deceivers have gone out into the world who do not confess Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.

And then I read the one at the top of this devotional, 2 John 1:10, which spoke to me very, very clearly.

I had read all of this many times before, but this time it really hit me.

If we receive them to our home, and we let them share “their gospel” with us, we are, as God’s word says, partaking in their evil deeds.

2 John 11 (NKJV) 11 for he who greets him shares in his evil deeds.

That might seem very strong, or even harsh. But consider what God’s word tells us here:

Galatians 1:8 (NKJV) 8 But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed.

So, it would do us good to heed this instruction from God’s word and weigh it very carefully the next time another gospel comes knocking on our door.

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-7-16

Galatians 1:9-10 (NKJV) 9 As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed. 10 For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I still pleased men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ.

The gospel of Jesus is not always popular. In fact, it can be controversial and even seen as combative by some.

Why? Because it speaks truth without compromise. There is no middle ground. There is truth or there is a lie. Jesus Himself said that everything He did and said was from His Father in heaven.

When Jesus spoke, people either loved Him or hated Him. Those who loved Him embraced what He said, even if it might have hurt their feelings, because they knew that what He said was good for them.

Those who hated Him did so because His words addressed the sin and hypocrisy in their lives. But instead of embracing those words and letting God speak to them and change their hearts, they chose to “shoot the messenger”, so to speak.

So it is important that we know that what we hear from others is the word of God and not some watered down, sugar coated or otherwise perverted version of the gospel. It’s critical that we test what we’re told and use God’s word as the standard by which everything else is measured and judged for authenticity.

And remember that some things might sound really good. They might even sound a lot like God’s word without actually being God’s word. And many times what we hear can be exciting or even exhilarating, and it might make us feel so good! But that doesn’t make it the truth.

So let’s be careful about what we listen to, watch or read. And test the spirits behind those things.

1 John 4:1 (NKJV) 4 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
