The warning about apostasy in 2 Peter 2:20 - 22 is given for the safekeeping of the church. Our difficulties with this subject come from a lack of biblical exposition. Legitimate warnings that God gives for the wellbeing and perseverance of His people are weaponized or ignored. We turn it into a threat or we treat it like it is hypothetical, and God doesn’t really mean what He says.  

We end up in one of two extremes if we are not careful. If it is a threat, we believe our standing with God is in constant jeopardy. We are never safe. If it is hypothetical, we callously conclude that what we do doesn’t matter. We prayed the prayer. We did the things. We are fine, even when we are clearly not. 

I want to know the truth and I want you to know the truth. But those are not the only reasons to bring this up. I want you to persevere. I know some of you are suffering. And more than anything, I want you to run your race and I want you to finish it well.

Join us today for The Proof of Apostasy & the Protection of Perseverance.
