y the Lord to His church - e.g., Ac 2:38-41,47<br />

-- History may not record (or may misrepresent) the existence of those who remained<br />

faithful, but the Lord knows His own! - 2 Ti 2:19<br />

CONCLUSION<br />

Mark A. Copeland<br />

1. Throughout the history of the apostasy, many have come to realize what has happened, and efforts<br />

made to rectify the problem...<br />

a. Appeals to reformation have produced many denominations<br />

b. Appeals to new revelation have produced many cults<br />

2. <strong>The</strong> only antidote to apostasy is that given by Paul to the Ephesians elders...<br />

a. <strong>First</strong>, take heed to yourself and those around you - cf. Ac 20:28<br />

b. Second, be on the watch and remember what the apostles warned about false teachers - cf. Ac<br />

20:29-31<br />

c. Third, look to God and His Word (not traditions of men); i.e., diligent prayer and careful Bible<br />

study - cf. Ac 20:32<br />

With this “antidote” to apostasy, you can have confidence that God in His grace will “build you up and<br />

give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified”...!<br />
