The Conclusion of the Matter

He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end. Ecclesiastes 3:11

“One day we will see everything with perfect clarity. Then we will know everything completely, just as God knows us now.” I Corinthians 13:12 NLT

• “For there must also be factions (heresies) among you, that those who are approved may be recognized among you.”
• The Truth vs. The Lies
• II Thessalonians 2:11
  • “And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie”

• Genesis 3:1-7
• Satan comes to Eve and does 3 things:
  1. He challenges the veracity of God's Word "did God really say?"
  2. He puts forth his counter truth claim "you will not surely die"
  3. Finally, he informs Eve that there is a foul conspiracy afoot

And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie II Thessalonians 2:11

• Why?
  • Doubt God Word
  • There is no accountability
  • Question God’s character of goodness
  • Encourage independence
• Man's Conclusion
  • God can be ignored!
  • His part can be taken.
  • We can make our own rules for success!

Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep His commandments, for this is man’s all. For God will bring every work into judgment, including every secret thing, whether good or evil. Ecclesiastes 12:13-14
