Verse 16 we'll read it again says take heed into thyself and into the doctrine
Continue in them for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself and them that hear thee. So what is that talking about?
Why is it saying why is it using this this reference of being saved to?
You know taking heed and these efforts that we have to put into it
Well, the entire chapter really defines what that means look at verse one
It says 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
So what is it saying that in the latter times which we're in the latter times today?
A lot of people are going to depart from the faith why because there's false teachers out there
False prophets and false pastors and what are they being influenced by seducing spirits and doctrines of devils?
You say what's a doctrine of devil? It's a teaching of satan
And so in the last portion of this chapter
He says take heed into thyself
And into that until the doctrine for in doing so thou shalt both save thyself and them that hear thee from what?
From seducing spirits and doctrines of devils, you see we need christians today that are willing to save themselves now
I'm not talking about salvation. I'm not talking about being justified as far as eternal life is concerned
I'm talking about being saved from false doctrine
You know not be careless and allow with whatever doctrine comes through the internet to be influenced by it save yourself from those things
