Rejecting Christ has Dire Consequences

2 Peter 2:10a “This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire of their sinful nature and despise authority.”

            Peter is talking about false teachers in this passage and I have to keep reminding myself of that, Lord.  There are many around us that are not religious at all, and are unsaved.  I believe You are saying here that those who start their own religion and lead others astray will have especially harsh judgment.  Is that right?

            Lord, speak to me today, please.  Show me Your ways and lead me in the way everlasting.  This earth is passing away and I do not ever want to fall away from You because of all that is going on around me.  I know I am sealed by the Spirit and cannot lose my so great salvation that is a gift and does not depend on my attitude or works, but Lord, I want to glorify You with my works, thoughts, and actions daily.  I want to live by my new nature that You so graciously have given me.  Old things have passed away, and behold, all things have become new!

            I praise You, Almighty One, for this unfathomable gift and promise of salvation and all it means now here and will mean in Heaven!
Hallelujah!  AMEN!
