Luke 10:20

King James Version (1769)

20 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.
Untruth

Misinterpretations often lead believers to undervalue or reject the exercise of spiritual authority over demons, viewing it as unimportant or prideful, which ignores Jesus' own granting of such power; conversely, some fixate solely on miracles as proof of faith, missing the call to prioritize eternal salvation; others erroneously believe rejoicing in heavenly enrollment requires emotional highs or visible signs, fostering unnecessary doubt about one's standing with God absent such experiences.

Truth

Jesus instructs the returning disciples to shift their primary joy from the impressive subjugation of evil spirits during their mission to the eternal assurance of their salvation, as evidenced by their names being inscribed in heaven, highlighting that personal redemption and inclusion in God's kingdom far surpass any temporal spiritual victories or powers.
