Last night I started reading in 2 Peter 2. I had first read 2 Peter 2:19 which reads, "They promise freedom, but they themselves are slaves of sin and corruption..." I started to read around in the rest of chapter 2 and came across in verse 3 about how they will come up with clever lies. Clever lies. What a great way to put it. Because they definitely have to be clever to come up with something for us God-fearers to actually believe. And let me tell you what...they are pros at coming up with these lies. They play with our minds as they twist God's Truth and make us believe that His Truth isn't actually true. What a pathetic LIE!
Verses 18 through 22 are a little sad to read too as I think of so many examples of people that I know where this has happened. It is talking about how much worse off newer believers are when they taste the Lord's freedom and then start listening to these twists of God's Truth and fall back into their old habits. So sad.
We can choose to be slaves of these lies, or we can find FREEDOM in our Faith of knowing Jesus Christ and believing His Truth. I choose freedom.
