What is the end of false ministers according to their works?
Their end is eternal doom, and it will be according to their works. Though false ministers may appear as ministers of righteousness and even shine like an angel of light, Scripture says their final destiny is measured by their deeds, not by their outward display or presumed faith.
Les explains that Satan’s ministers are transformed as ministers of righteousness, but their end—their eternal doom—is according to their works. He notes they can seem to shine like an angel of light and appear powerful, and the world is full of this. He cites the old Bible scholar from England who envisioned such people standing before the great white throne, a place only for the lost, suddenly realizing their faith wasn’t what they thought it was. Les cautions that what we see and hear must line up with the Word of God; if it doesn’t, they could very well be ministers of Satan, who is the angel of light.
