SEE TO IT!

 
 
Hebrews 12:15


"See to it that so one fails to obtain the grace of God; that no 'root of bitterness' springs up and causes trouble, and by it man become defiled." ESV


We are to be diligent to watch out for those who fail to walk in God's grace, since we are all easily tempted and vulnerable to our fleshly desires. Being a bad example, poisoned with bitterness spreads it to those around us and results in damaged testimonies and in contaminated witnesses of God's truth. One bitter person, who is walking by his/her own reasoning, not God's, can lead others away from the truth of God and destroy them spiritually. This is not an argument for the possibility of losing one's salvation or not. But this is a warning for us to watch for those who come around us that are evil hypocrites who can weaken immature Christians and prevent sinners from coming to Christ.


Heavenly Father, how we stand in need of You to search our hearts, that we are free of any hypocrisy and evil so that we will not spread poison to the Body of Christ. Help us to be alert to those who are false Christians so that we can stop them from spreading evil among us. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.
