Paul tells us: “And no wonder, since Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. So
it is not surprising if his servants also masquerade as servants of
righteousness.”
The Apostle Peter tells us that “Your opponent, the devil, is prowling around
like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.”
Then the Apostle
Paul tells Timothy “But evil people and impostors will go from bad to worse as
they deceive others and are themselves deceived.”
The Lord declares “every
knee will bow to me, and every tongue will praise God.” Each of us will have to give an account of
himself or herself to God in the future.
Therefore, we need
to be like the Bereans “every day they carefully examined the Scriptures to see
if those things were so.”
If we learn to
follow the example of our Lord and Creator, Jesus in His Way of Life, what he
did, what he commands, what he taught and instructed, then we will know what to
believe.

(2Ti 3:13 ISV)
Be
clear-minded and alert. Your
opponent, the devil, is prowling around like a roaring lion, looking for
someone to devour. (1Pe 5:8 ISV)
And no wonder, since Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.
So it is not surprising if his servants also masquerade as servants of
righteousness. Their doom will match their deeds! (2Co
11:14-15 ISV)
For
it is written, "As
certainly as I live, declares the Lord, every knee will bow to me, and every
tongue will praise God."
Consequently, each of us will give an account of himself to God. (Rom 14:11-12
ISV)
These
people were more receptive than those in Thessalonica. They were very willing
to receive the message, and every
day they carefully examined the Scriptures to see if those things were so. (Act
17:11 ISV)
