Christ: The Only Answer

This Sunday we will return to the book of Colossians. We are approaching the section of the book where Paul exposes the false teaching that is espoused in that community.

It is such a relevant study for us today, because of the influx and popularity of false teaching. It seems that everywhere you look or read a new false teaching is being promoted, but as you reflect on the newness of the teaching you realize it is the same false teaching, but it is couched with different terminology.

The false teaching which is most prevalent today is that Jesus is not the only way to heaven. This statement is diametrically opposed to the gospel of Jesus Christ. Jesus states, "I am the way, the truth, and the life and no one comes to the Father except through me." (John 14:6). We as believers need to be prepared for false teaching, and the way we prepare ourselves is by being knowledgeable of the Truth.

May the Lord open our eyes to His Truth.
