We must be doers of Gods Word.
Throughout the history of the church some have always refused to love sound doctrine; yet as the end draws near, the situation will grow worse. (1) "Men will not put up with sound doctrine" Many will profess to be Christians, gather at churches, appear to revere God, but will not tolerate the original NT apostolic faith or the Biblical demand to separate from unrighteousness. (2) "They will turn their ears away from the truth" Sound Biblical preaching from a man of God will no longer be tolerated by many within the churches. Those who turn from truth will want preaching that demands less than the true gospel. They will not accept God's word when it speaks of repentance, sin, damnation, and the necessity of holiness and separation from the world. (3) "They will gather around them great number of teachers to say what there itching ears want to hear" These professing believers will not seek pastors according to the standards of God's Word, but will seek those who conform to their own self- seeking and worldly desires. They will choose preachers with gifts of oratory, the ability to entertain, and messages that reassure them that they can remain a Christian while living in abomination and sin.(4) The Holy Spirit warns all who remain faithful to God and submit to His Word meaning obey all His commandments, to expect persecution and suffering because of righteousness. Furthermore, they must separate from people, churches and institutions who deny God's power in salvation and who preach a compromising gospel. WE MUST EVER BE LOYAL TO THE New Testament GOSPEL AND TO GOD'S FAITHFUL WHO PROCLAIM IT! Doing this we can be assured of intimate fellowship with Christ and times of refreshing from the Lord!
