Living In The Last Days
ABOUT THIS MESSAGe
As we wait for the return of Christ, many will fall away from the faith. Some of these people will attempt to enforce false rules as conditions for following God. One early example of such people, present when Paul wrote these words, was the Gnostics. This group taught that all physical matter was evil, leading them to denounce many foods, as well as marriage. However, according to Paul, "everything created by God is good" and should not be rejected out-of-hand. Anything used as God intended, and with a thankful spirit, has been sanctified or "set apart" through the Word of God and prayer.
