Passage:
2 Peter 2:1-3New International Version (NIV)
2 But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them—bringing swift destruction on themselves. 2 Many will follow their depraved conduct and will bring the way of truth into disrepute. 3 In their greed these teachers will exploit you with fabricated stories. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.
Truths:
1. There were false prophets and teachers among the people.
2. They will Secretly introduce destructive heresies
3. They will deny the Sovereignty of the Lord
4. They will bring upon themselves swift destruction.
5. Many will follow these false prophets and distort the truth.
6. In their greed they will exploit you with Fabricated stories
7. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them and their destruction is for sure.
Application:
Here the Holy Spirit warns me of many teachers and prophets who come in the name of Lord Jesus Christ but are really not. They make Fabricated stories which might be appealing to many but it is not right as per the word of God. Many people will follow them and these prophets are on their path to destruction. The only way to distinguish between the right Teaching and the wrong one is to be well equipped with God's word. The False teachers are mainly characterized by greed and is mostly preaching this way for their own welfare.

I know that understanding the truth in the word will help me discern between a true and false prophets. Help me never to go astray into those teaching and be lead away form you.
