“Love Does Not Tolerate False Teaching” (Revelation 2:18–29)

Cameron Jungels/Eastside Baptist/Sun PM/Sept. 21, 2014

 

18 "To the angel of the church in Thyatira write: These are the words of the Son of God, whose eyes are like blazing fire and whose feet are like burnished bronze. (Rev. 2:18, NIV) 

 

14 The hair on his head was white like wool, as white as snow, and his eyes were like blazing fire.  15 His feet were like bronze glowing in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of rushing waters.  (Rev. 1:14-15, NIV)

 

19 I know your deeds, your love and faith, your service and perseverance, and that you are now doing more than you did at first. (Rev. 2:19, NIV)

 

20 Nevertheless, I have this against you: You tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophet. By her teaching she misleads my servants into sexual immorality and the eating of food sacrificed to idols. (Rev. 2:20, NIV)

 

21 I have given her time to repent of her immorality, but she is unwilling. (Rev. 2:21, NIV)

 

22 So I will cast her on a bed of suffering, and I will make those who commit adultery with her suffer intensely, unless they repent of her ways.  23 I will strike her children dead. (Rev. 2:22-23, NIV)

 

Then all the churches will know that I am he who searches hearts and minds, and I will repay each of you according to your deeds. (Rev. 2:23, NIV)

 

24 Now I say to the rest of you in Thyatira, to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan's so-called deep secrets, 'I will not impose any other burden on you,  25 except to hold on to what you have until I come.'  (Rev. 2:24-25, NIV)

 

26 To the one who is victorious and does my will to the end, I will give authority over the nations--  27 that one 'will rule them with an iron scepter and will dash them to pieces like pottery'-- just as I have received authority from my Father.  28 I will also give that one the morning star.  29 Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches. (Rev. 2:26-29, NIV)

 

Main Ideas: 

·         Love does not tolerate false teaching.

·         We need to hold fast to the truth of Christ and not let it go.
