We all Christians battle with sin but battling with deception is the worst thing as you may even not know that you are in
Like a goldfish in water.

I battle with all types of sins and Christians battle with things such as pornography , lust and other sins

As you could be heading to hell thinking that you are going to heaven because you have been decieved

Pray that the lord opens our eyes to the deception we are in and the grace to cover it

Dear Dom

Just wanted to say self deception has also been in my mind lately. Your post is timely.

The heart is exceedingly deceitful who can know it.

Not all who say Lord Lord will enter the kingdom
Lord Lord did I not prophecy and work miracles in Your Name and He will turn around and say depart from Me you worker of inquiry I never knew you.

Examine yourself to see if you are in the faith

It is a fearful thing to fall in the hands of the living God.

Yes self deception is very real and a tactic the enemy is using against believers whilst they herd towards the broad path that leads to destruction for narrow is the way to eternal life. Few be they that find it. Yes hell is real and Jesus preached about hell a lot more than we care to take note or hear today.

Blessings in Christ

None of us is beyond reproach

Very true
