The first part of 2 Thessalonians 2:3 urges:

“Let no man deceive you by any means.”

But how do I do that? After all, deception is sneaky and hard to detect. That’s its nature. That’s what makes it hard to see.

A few verses later in the same chapter we have this:

“And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved” (10).

To keep people from deceiving me, I must know the truth.

Love the truth, in fact.

And believe it, according to this piece from verse 13: “salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth.”

And there’s another way to avoid deception: allow God’s spirit to make me holy (sanctify and cleanse me).
