False Teachers Can Be Identified by Their Characteristics

When we spot these false teachers, whether it be in the Old Testament, the New Testament, or even our day and age, we end up seeing that they can be spotted and identified by their characteristics. And there is warnings of that.

Jude’s Warning of Coming Judgment on False Teachers

In fact, Jude, in verse 14, tells us that Enoch, the seventh of Adam, even prophesied, saying, Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousand of his holy ones to execute judgment on all, and to convict all the ungodly of all their deeds of ungodliness that they have committed in such an ungodly way.

And of all the harsh things that ungodly sinners have spoken against him. So it has been prophesied and recorded in God's word that there is judgments coming on false teachers. Many of the false teachers think they're going to escape that judgment.

Maybe they think there isn't really a judgment. But yet, what Jude had previously said is it is natural to all to understand that a judgment is coming. They all know that. And though they come and teach these things to line their own pockets with other people's money, with other people's goods and resources, they take care of themselves while ignoring the fact that there was prophesied that a judgment would come on them.

Praying for False Teachers While Warning Against Them

We should be praying for false teachers while at the same time warning against them. We should not be trying to listen and heed a false teacher. But we do have to be aware that many of them are deceived and deceiving and need our prayers too.
