What does the Bible say about being deceived?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible warns believers to take heed that they be not deceived, as many false prophets will arise.

The Scripture emphasizes the importance of being vigilant against deceit, as seen in Luke 21:8 where Jesus cautions the disciples to take heed that they be not deceived. False prophets will come in His name claiming to have the truth, but their messages can lead believers astray. The need for discernment is crucial, as even the elect could be deceived if it were possible. This underlines the necessity of grounding oneself in biblical truth and being aware of the vulnerabilities to deception present in our finite minds.
