Summary
The speaker warns against being deceived by false teachings, especially concerning the signs of the last days, emphasizing that mere knowledge of the Bible is insufficient. True spiritual life requires diligent, deep study of Scripture, comparing what is heard with what is read, much like learning a new language. He stresses that believers must actively pursue understanding the Word of God to avoid spiritual complacency.

The message in plain words, in the order it unfolds. Select a time to jump the video to that moment.
What are the real warnings of the last days?Jesus gave clear warnings about the last days: see to it that no one deceives you and do not get frightened by wars, rumors of wars, famines, and earthquakes.
The signs most Christians missBeyond physical disasters, scripture warns that many believers will fall away from the church and people's love will grow cold, requiring endurance to the end.
Why reading your Bible is your protection against deceptionMerely accepting Christ and getting a certificate is not enough if you do not read your Bible; if you have an English Bible and do not read it regularly, you deserve to be deceived.
Do you make time to read God's word?If someone claims to be a busy believer yet never finds time to read the Bible, it raises serious doubts about whether they are truly born again or just practicing a whitewashed religion.
Like a newborn baby crying for milkJust as a healthy newborn baby immediately cries out for milk, someone who has received the life of God possesses a natural, unforced desire to know what God says in His word.
Longing for the pure milk of the wordBelievers are called to long for the pure milk of the word of God like newborn babies so that they may grow in their salvation.1 Peter 2:2
Are you a lazy Christian?Failing to understand a scripture verse and simply ignoring it makes someone a lazy Christian who refuses to dig deeper into the text.
Applying diligence to the Bible as you would to language or workJust as a person uses a dictionary to look up unfamiliar words to improve their English or studies work procedures to keep a job, they should stop and look up unfamiliar Bible references.
Is your job more important than Jesus Christ?Ignoring scripture because you are too busy reveals that your job is more important to you than your Christian life, which is a tragic reality.
