Every Good Work

This is a crucial message for the times that lie ahead. In the last days, we shall face perilous times. Men shall become consumed by their own desires, driven by greed, arrogance, and blasphemy. They will disobey their parents, lack gratitude and holiness, devoid of natural affection. They will break truces, falsely accuse others, and be uncontrolled and fierce, showing disdain for goodness. They will betray, acting impulsively and filled with pride, prioritizing worldly pleasures over their love for God. They will wear a mask of holiness while denying its true power. Beware and turn away from their deceitful ways.

For there are those who will infiltrate households and prey upon vulnerable women laden with sin, leading them astray with their insatiable lusts. They will forever seek knowledge but never grasp the truth. Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, these individuals will resist the truth with their corrupt minds, misguided in matters of faith. However, their folly shall be exposed for all to see, just as it was with their predecessors.

Nevertheless, you are well acquainted with my teachings, demeanor, purpose, faith, and enduring patience. You have witnessed the persecutions and hardships I faced in Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra, yet the Lord delivered me from them all. Understand that those who choose to live righteously in Christ Jesus will face persecution. Evil individuals and deceivers will continue to grow worse, ensnaring others while being deceived themselves.

But you, dear one, must remain steadfast in the teachings you have received and the assurance of those who imparted them to you. Recall the holy scriptures you have known since childhood, as they hold the wisdom to guide you towards salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. Remember, every scripture is divinely inspired and serves a purpose in teaching, rebuking, correcting, and instructing in righteousness. It equips the person of God for every good work.
