Your Faith Will Be Tested

“I tell you, He will grant justice to them quickly! But when the Son of Man returns, how many will he find on the earth who have faith?” - Luke 18:8 NLT

Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.

The Good News of salvation and life eternal, is by Grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone. Whether Old Testament saints or New Testament believers, the only way to access this free and eternal gift from the Father is to trust in His Word and believe in His Son.

Hebrews 11 reminds us of the many heroes of faith who endured hardship and persecution in Old Testament times. In Paul’s letter to Timothy, we hear a similar warning from the Spirit of God: in the last days, some will turn away from the faith, deceived by false teachers, misleading spirits, and doctrines of demons.

Guarding the Truth of the Gospel of Grace is just as vital today as it was then. As God’s people, we must learn how to live faithfully in a fallen world and remain steadfast against every form of apostasy and evil. Scripture warns us plainly: “In later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons.” (1 Timothy 4:1)

We are called to hold fast to the Truth, to walk wisely, and to resist deception. By clinging to Christ and His Word, we stand firm in the midst of darkness and shine as witnesses of His Grace.

Too often we can drift from our first Love, drawn by the allure of the world and the desires of the flesh. Without vigilance, we risk walking in the counsel of the ungodly, standing in the path of sinners, and drinking from the empty wells of this world. Neglecting our spiritual discipline leads to stagnation and hinders our growth in Christ.

That is why, in these last days, it is essential to clothe ourselves with the full armour of God. We are called to stand firm in the faith, endure trials with perseverance, remain watchful in prayer, and lift our voices in steadfast praise and thanksgiving. Scripture warns us: “The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons.”

Guard your heart. Stay rooted in Christ. Let prayer, praise, and perseverance be your shield against deception.
