In our modern world filled with deception, believers must learn to discern true Christian teaching from counterfeit doctrine. The Apostle John warns that we live in the last hour, a period between Christ's first and second coming when many antichrists arise. These false teachings don't openly attack Jesus but subtly redefine who He is, often using Christian terminology while distorting its meaning. Every believer has been anointed by the Holy Spirit with the ability to discern truth from error. The key to staying grounded is abiding in Christ and the gospel we first heard, rather than chasing after novel teachings or spiritual trends.
