"The great test as to whether you are actually following the biblical Christ... is if you are becoming more and more like Him"
In this episode of Encounter Recovery Ministries, Rick Peterson tackles the intriguing topic of recognising the true Christ versus the many counterfeit versions that exist. With a dash of humour and a heap of sincerity, Peterson guides you through the complexities of discerning authentic teachings from misleading ones. He highlights how some preach a different Jesus and gospel, which can lead followers astray if not careful.
Using 2 Corinthians 11:1-4 as a key reference, he explores how false apostles infiltrated Corinth, misleading Christians with distorted teachings. Peterson doesn't shy away from addressing the uncomfortable truth that some ministries may prioritise financial gain over spiritual integrity. He challenges you to reflect on whether your faith journey aligns with the genuine teachings of Jesus Christ. The acid test, as he calls it, is whether you're becoming more like Christ in your daily life.
Are you seeing transformation and growth in your spiritual walk? This episode serves as a wake-up call to scrutinise what you're being taught and ensure it's rooted in Scripture and guided by the Holy Spirit. Peterson's message is clear: your spiritual growth is the ultimate indicator of following the true Christ. Dive into this engaging discussion and see if you're on the right path.
