In reading all the authors of the New Testament, one of the most common threads that runs through every book is the warning against false prophets and teachers. Realizing that they were called by the Lord to go out into the world, preach the gospel, and establish churches, the apostles were also aware of what would follow when their ministries were finished and they were with the Lord.

Even while they were traveling from place to place preaching the gospel and founding the first churches, there were those who had come to know the gospel and were already turning from the faith to preach doctrines of men and to challenge the apostles for leadership over the churches for their own gain.

The corruption of the gospel has never ceased since and has only spawned innumerable doctrines, heresies, sects, and false churches, even going so far as to contribute in no small way to the creation of Islam.

The Apostle Paul, speaking of the future, warned that the time would come when the churches would not endure sound doctrine, but after their own lusts would heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears that would turn away their ears from the truth and turn them into fables.

After calling the elders of the church of Ephesus to Miletus, Paul warned them that after his departure, grievous wolves would enter the church, not sparing the flock, and that even from among themselves some would arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.

Peter, Jude, and all of the other writers of the New Testament also wrote and prophesied of the falsehoods that would deceive many and turn multitudes away from the truth.

The culmination of heresies has compounded for centuries and has found its way into modern Christianity in every way possible, where false doctrines are believed by many sincere devoted Christians. It is difficult for anyone to discern their own long-embraced falsehoods which have been inherited and accepted for generations.

The restoration of the truth can only come from God. Multitudes of books and writings by doctors of divinity and theologians have caused grave errors in Christianity. The only perfect teacher and source of perfect truth is the Spirit of God coupled with the holy scriptures. The Lord is the only one you can trust fully.

Jesus said that man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. One of the most prevalent false teachings today is the doctrine that refutes Jesus by teaching that faith alone in salvation saves eternally without finishing the race. Indeed, faith alone saves the soul and we are gifted eternal life. It is the undeserved gift of God freely given which cannot be earned by works. However, it does not end there. We must have faith in every word that proceeds from the mouth of God, not only his promise of salvation.

The Israelites had faith in God’s salvation when they passed through the Red Sea, and indeed, they were saved. Later, however, most of them perished in the wilderness.

Wherefore?

We are given the answer at the end of Chapter 3 of Hebrews.

“But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness? And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not? So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.”

Thus, the children of Israel, after being initially saved from Egypt by faith alone in salvation, afterwards failed to believe every word of God when tried. Although they had accepted salvation, they hardened their hearts in the wilderness and refused to believe the promise that God would bring them through the wilderness into the promised land. Thus, they were offended by their sufferings in their trials and murmured against God and fell into various temptations.

In chapters 3 and 4 of the Book of Hebrews, we are given a picture of God’s plan of salvation, which not only saves at the Red Sea but also leads through the perils and temptations in the wilderness until passing over Jordan into the promised land; for when we are saved, there are yet promises to be fulfilled and a journey to obtain them and battles to be fought. We must drive out seven nations greater than ourselves.

We are saved by faith; that is the beginning of our faith. But faith is to be made perfect, not to be rested on, for we have yet to enter his perfect rest. Man only lives by every word of God, not by faith in salvation alone without faith in all of the other things written.

As the Apostle James wrote, the devils believe in God. They also believe in salvation; they see souls delivered from the bondage of their hands at the Red Sea, but they cannot pass through the red sea of the blood of Jesus to pursue them. However, what the devils do not believe is every word of God or they would not have resisted unto damnation.

Yes, indeed, faith alone saves, but only by faith in every word of God does man live, not by faith in initial salvation without faith in every other word of God; and the works of the spirit will follow those who believe.

“Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.” Hebrews 3:6”

“For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end“ Hebrews 3:14

“Let us labor therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.” Hebrews 4:11
