TRUE OR FALSE?
"You refuse to believe because you are not My sheep." —John 10:26
Some leaders in the Church do not believe in Jesus. They bear "the title
'brother' " and enjoy the status within the Church, but they do not live
holy lives, nor do they intend to repent (see 1 Cor 5:11). They are false
brothers and sisters (Gal 2:4). Satan makes use of their position in the
Church to lead people away from their "sincere and complete devotion to
Christ" (2 Cor 11:3, 13-14).
How can you discern if someone is a false Christian and thereby prevent
him or her from influencing you and others? (1 Cor 5:11)
* They "belong to the world...theirs is the language of the world
and...the world listens to them" (1 Jn 4:5). How does their talk compare
to Ephesians 5:3-4?
* They don't acknowledge Jesus Christ as come in the flesh (1 Jn
4:2-3). How do they act in the presence of the Eucharist? Do they
acknowledge the Virgin Birth and Mary? Is their devotion real or merely
lip-service? (Mt 15:8)
* They do not produce good fruit (see Mt 7:20)."You will know them by
their deeds" (Mt 7:16). Do they bear the undeniable fruit of holiness,
faithfulness, and the fruit of the Spirit? (see Gal 5:22) Have many come
to conversion or lasting faith through their leadership?
* They don't use the sacrament of Confession.
* They rebel against or even leave the Church (1 Jn 2:19).
"Do not be led astray any longer. 'Bad company corrupts good morals' " (1
Cor 15:33).
Prayer: Jesus, may false Christians come to know you as Lord, Savior, and
God, repent deeply, and bear lasting fruit for You.
Promise: "No one shall snatch [My sheep] out of My hand." —Jn 10:28
Praise: After realizing she was in the choir to glorify herself and not
God, Maria took some time off to re-orient.
