Matthew 24:24
New International Version - UK (NIVUK)
For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the elect— if that were possible.
Even the very elect of those with Christformation in them can be deceived if they continue obeying the sinful nature of the Devil in them which they have not put to death it's misdeeds. Imagine the first Adam speaking like the last Adam. Doing miracles and showing great signs and claiming it is from God when it is not. What confusion and deception it will bring to believers of Christ! The last Adam is the Lord Jesus Christ and the first Adam is the one who brought the sinful nature of the Devil into mankind. The first Adam represents disobedience to God and the last Adam- obedience to God. Through the Lord Jesus Christ we learn obedience to God.
As there can be false Christs who would claim that they are as powerful as Christ our Lord, there would be false Christformation in those who would claim that they are filled with the power of God. Watch it! You cannot be obeying the sinful nature of the Devil in you and yet be a prophet of Christ.Also, you cannot be obeying the sinful nature of the Devil in you and have Christformation in you. You cannot claim that you have the power of Christ in you, when you still obey the sinful nature of the Devil in you.
Your outside appearance may not be what you are in the inside. It may all be for a show of piety. The Lord Jesus warned against such hypocrisy. On the outside you may appear as though you obey God but actually in the inside, secretly, you only obey the sinful nature of the Devil in you. You can cheat men but you cannot cheat God. He can see through you and see what is in your heart. Disobedience to God might still be ruling all your ways. You may appear you are doing God's work on earth but God knows the confusion you are responsible for.
Matthew 23:27-29
New International Version - UK (NIVUK)
Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of dead men's bones and everything unclean.In the same way, on the outside you appear to people as righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.
Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You build tombs for the prophets and decorate the graves of the righteous.
Actually, you may be building the synagogue of Satan by continually obeying the sinful nature of the Devil in you. Your mouth may claim heaven but your heart is far away from God and His Kingdom. Secretly, you do things to please the sinful nature of the Devil in you which you are not freed from. All your show of piety will come to an end by the Light of Christ shinning on you. Light will end all darkness.
Revelation 2:8-9
New International Version - UK (NIVUK)
To the angel of the church in Smyrna write:
These are the words of him who is the First and the Last, who died and came to life again.I know your afflictions and your poverty-- yet you are rich! I know the slander of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.
