The Christian's best safeguard is knowledge.

The believer in Jesus Christ today is confronted with a multiplicity of heretical cults and thus we urgently need this kind of knowledge.

"Christians should know the truth and the whole truth; they should be able to detect error, and recognize the times in which they live; they should know the dangerous world that surrounds them and that ever seeks to poison their minds, debase their affections, neutralize their testimony, and paralyze their faith."

For this reason, then, Christian:

Jude 1:3, 20-21 — ". . . contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all handed down to the saints . . . you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting anxiously for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life."
