is unfortunate that many people are swallowing all this deception disguised as gospel which focuses on nothing but the carnal desires of men, such as exaltation I, development of self, self, etc.
This is because the natural man desires the admiration of other people, and self-promotion rather than give up the treasures of this world to follow the footsteps of Christ who said: If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself , and take up his cross , and follow me. ( Mat 16:24 ) , but Satan is concerned that we do not take that Cross which is the sign of suffering for Christ's sake, making us believe that God wants us to suffer, but the Apostle Peter wrote: which (Satan) resist steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same conditions are accomplished in your brotherhood throughout the world. ( 1Pe 5:9) . is normal for the enemy of our souls do not want to take up our cross and deny ourselves because this way the stop the work God is doing in your church, because the world is under the evil their main job is polluting the church with this type of human and humanistic philosophies and it is using people who represent authority within the church And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. So it is not surprising if his servants masquerade as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works. ( 2 Cor 11:14-15).
This is nothing new we can see that even Christ did persuaded to humanistic thought when Peter began to rebuke him not to go to the cross but Christ answered: ! thee behind me, Satan ! , you offend me, because your mind on the things of God, but those of men . ( Mat 16:23). That's the attitude we should have us recognize that the devil wants to deceive us and to Adam and Eve who had no sin nature but were tempted to be as God, to raise self-esteem, to seek self-gratification , but all they managed was to fall into sin and being separated from God.
no mistake
Man without God is worthless, and without Christ to the Father, the Bible commands us to raise our self-esteem but on the contrary d igo, then, by the grace given unto me, to everyone who is among you, that is no more highly of himself than he ought to have ... ( Rom 12:3) leaving it clear that we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful and hating one another. But when the kindness of God our Saviour and his love for men, saved us not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit,
Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior, that being justified by his grace we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life. (Titus 3:3-7).
So the man has no merit, no capacity, no freedom, born short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23) and only having been redeemed in Christ we can have our hope and Christ said:
I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without me ye can do nothing . (John 15:5)
