False prophets can deceive and undermine the faith and life of unwary Christians by appearing to be true prophets or teachers while subverting biblical truth. Jesus and the Apostle Peter warn against such deception, urging Christians to be constantly aware of the dangers of false teachings and to remain steadfast in their faith.

Welcome to the Days of Praise podcast, a daily devotional by the Institute for Creation Research. Things to Beware. Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Matthew seven fifteen. There are three Greek words translated beware, all of which stress watchfulness and potential danger.
In a world under the control of Satan, There are many of his devices that can deceive and undermine the faith and life of the unwary Christian. Our text cautions against false prophets who appear to be true prophets, or teachers, or pastors, but who apparently spiritual teachings subvert biblical truth. John warns that many false prophets are gone out into the world. And Jesus said, They shall deceive many. Jesus also warned that his followers should beware of the doctrines of the Pharisees and the Sadducees.
These sects have their respective modern counterparts in the hypocrisy of legalists and the skepticism of liberals, both of which are destructive of true Biblical faith and life. Very relevant to today's humanistic intellectualism is the warning of Colossians 2.8, Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. Finally, the Apostle Peter says, Beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own steadfastness. In context, Peter is referring to those Christian brethren who have distorted the Scriptures in order to seek an accommodation with the naturalistic worldview of establishment intellectuals. Thus, Peter, John, and Christ himself urge us to be constantly aware.
