Description: Imagine what would have happened if the first Christians didn’t believe what Jesus and his apostles said about the end of the world. The whole church would have been a mess! It was super important for those early believers to trust that Jesus and the apostles were telling the truth. Otherwise, everything would have fallen apart.
So, when we read the New Testament and see warnings or rules about what to do if someone teaches something different, we have to remember who those rules were originally meant for. They were written for the Christians living in the first century, who had a specific situation and understanding of things. Keeping that in mind, let’s think about how those rules might apply to us today, especially when it comes to Christians who believe God kept his promises about the end times.
