🚨 QUESTION FOR A GENERATION:

How Did We Go From “Follow Me” to “Redefine Me”?…And Why Are So Many Christians Okay With It?

📖 SCRIPTURAL WARNING:

Let’s be real. Jesus didn’t stutter, and Scripture didn’t change. But in today’s world, it seems like even Christians are rewriting the Gospel to fit in, instead of standing up.

Jesus warned us this would happen.

🔥 KEY SCRIPTURES WITH TEEN-LEVEL BREAKDOWN:

1. Matthew 24:4-5 (NKJV)

“Take heed that no one deceives you. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many.”

🗝️ Keyword: “Deceives” (Greek: planao) – to cause someone to wander away, to be misled or morally seduced.

📘 Explanation: Jesus wasn’t just talking about fake messiahs. He was warning that many people will use His name but teach a different message—and it’ll feel right, sound nice, and seem harmless… but it will lead people off course.

👂 Teens, ask yourselves: Is what I’m hearing from influencers, even “Christian” ones, calling me to holiness… or just helping me feel good about compromise?

2. 2 Timothy 4:3-4 (NKJV)

“For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine… they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables.”

🗝️ Keyword: “Sound Doctrine” (Greek: hugiainō didaskalia) – healthy, whole, trustworthy teaching that leads to godly living.

📘 Explanation: Paul is telling us straight-up: a time will come when people won’t put up with the absolute truth. They’ll want “feel-good” fables—stories, opinions, and affirmations that don’t challenge them to change.

👂 Teens, look around:

Have your friends or even some youth pastors stopped talking about sin, repentance, and the Cross? That’s not love—that’s spiritual poison dressed up in positivity.

3. Romans 1:25 (NKJV)

“…[they] exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator…”

🗝️ Keyword: “Exchanged” (Greek: metallassō) – to swap one thing for another, as in trading treasure for trash.

📘 Explanation: This verse shows the heart of all deception—trading God’s truth for cultural lies. We see this when people elevate feelings over faith, identity over obedience, and popularity over purity.

👂 Teens, make it plain: You can’t follow Jesus and also follow the world’s version of “truth.” You have to choose the Cross or the crowd.

😢 MODERN-DAY SPIRITUAL ADULTERY:

What we’re seeing today—people loving Jesus with their lips but cheating on Him with the world—is what the Bible calls spiritual adultery. They’re dating Jesus but are married to the world’s values.

James 4:4 (NKJV)“Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God?”

🗝️ Keyword: “Enmity” (Greek: echthra) – deep-rooted hostility; total opposition.

📘 Explanation:If you’re chasing the world’s approval, you’re putting yourself on the opposite side of God’s truth. That’s not a friendship—it’s war.

🚀 URGENT TEEN-LEVEL TAKEAWAY:

• Jesus doesn’t change. The world does.

• If your “version” of Jesus never corrects you, challenges you, or convicts you—you’re following a counterfeit.

• Satan’s biggest weapon is not Satanism—it’s disguised deception that looks like love but leads to destruction.
