"Let No One Deceive You..."

“Let No One Deceive You…”

Blessings folk!

We now encounter a serious command.

Ephesians 5:6
6 Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.


Let no one deceive you...especially with empty words.

Jesus says the same type of thing in Matthew 24.

We have a role.
We have responsibility to see to it that we are not deceived.
Empty words are a major source of deception.
I hear it constantly.
From conversations…
From pulpits…
From the media…

The “empty words” are related to something specific in the current context…”these things”.
The things we have seen earlier...impurity, sexual immorality, covetousness, idolatry, etc.

The “empty words” of today speak of inheriting the Kingdom while involved in such as a pattern of life.

This is deception.
This is lie.
Empty words.
No truth.
No power.

The wrath of God comes against such.
The wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.

Do not be deceived.
