Before the ascension, Jesus taught his disciples to preach the gospel to the entire world and he also commissioned them to teach what they have learned from him. Jesus also told them that many false prophets will come in his name and they will remove his people from their faith.
Today, we can see many false teachings come up in the world that presents a Jesus who is not mentioned in the Bible. It is very important for every individual believer to know Jesus according to the Bible and they must live a holy life that Jesus teaches in his scripture.
If we do not pay attention to what Jesus told, we will soon be cheated by the false teachings and eventually end up our faith. Only Jesus can give us everlasting life because he gave his life upon the cross to purchase us from the hands of Satan. Now, we need to trust him and obey him in order to be saved.
