Deuteronomy 4
It is important for us to read and study scripture...for many reasons. A key reason why we read scripture is to identify when Satan is at work as the devil will try and twist God's words.
Examples of how Satan works are found in Genesis 3 when the serpent tricks Eve, and Matthew 4 when Jesus is tested in the wilderness.
Satan also works through false teachers.
Peter warns us about false teachers:
Do not add to what I command you and do not subtract from it, but keep the commands of the Lord your God that I give you. v2

Peter warns us about false teachers:
They promise them
freedom, while they themselves are slaves of depravity—for “people are
slaves to whatever has mastered them.” 2 Peter 2:19
