Biblical Concept: Many Opponents To The Gospel Of Jesus Christ
NAS 2 John 1:7 For many deceivers have gone out into the world,
those who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as
coming in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the antichrist.
NAS 1 Corinthians 8:5 For even if there are so-called gods whether in
heaven or on earth, as indeed there are many gods and many lords,
NAS 1 Corinthians 16:9 for a wide door for effective service has opened to me, and there are
many adversaries.
NAS Galatians 1:6 I am amazed that you are so quickly deserting Him
who called you by the grace of Christ, for a different gospel;
NAS Matthew 10:34-38 34 "Do not think that I came
to bring peace on the earth; I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 "For I came to set a man
against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law
against her mother-in-law; 36
and a man's enemies will be the members of his household. 37 "He who loves father or
mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; and he who loves son or daughter more
than Me is not worthy of Me. 38
"And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of
Me.
NAS Romans 5:10 10 For if while we were enemies, we
were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been
reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.
NAS Romans 11:28 28 From the standpoint of the
gospel they are enemies for your sake, but from the standpoint of God's choice they are beloved for the
sake of the fathers;
NAS 2 Corinthians 2:17 For we are not like many, peddling the word of
God, but as from sincerity, but as from God, we speak in Christ in the sight of
God.
NAS 2 Corinthians 12:21 I am afraid that when I come again my God may
humiliate me before you, and I may mourn over many of those who have sinned in
the past and not repented of the impurity, immorality and sensuality which they
have practiced.
NAS Philippians 3:18 For many walk, of whom I often told you, and now
tell you even weeping, that they are enemies
of the cross of Christ,
NAS Titus
1:10-16 10 For
there are many rebellious men, empty talkers and deceivers, especially those of
the circumcision, 11 who must
be silenced because they are upsetting whole families, teaching things they
should not teach, for the sake of sordid
gain. 12 One of themselves, a
prophet of their own, said, "Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy
gluttons." 13 This
testimony is true. For this cause reprove them severely that they may be sound
in the faith, 14 not paying
attention to Jewish myths and commandments of men who turn away from the
truth. 15 To the pure, all
things are pure; but to those who are defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure,
but both their mind and their conscience are defiled. 16 They profess to know God, but
by their deeds they deny Him, being detestable and disobedient,
and worthless for any good deed.
NAS 2 Peter 2:2 And many will follow their sensuality, and
because of them the way of the truth will be maligned;
NAS 1 John 2:18 Children, it is the last hour; and just as you
heard that antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have arisen; from
this we know that it is the last hour.
NAS 1 John 4:1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test
the spirits to see whether they are from God; because many false prophets have
gone out into the world.
NAS James 4:4 4 You adulteresses, do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.
NAS
Matthew 13:39 39
and the enemy who sowed them is the devil, and the
harvest is the end of the age; and the reapers are angels.
NAS 1
Corinthians 15:25 25
For He must reign until He has put all His enemies under His feet.
