Standing Firm on the Rock - 2 Peter 2.4-10, 17-22

Jobey McGinty

As Peter continues this letter to the church, he has clear and sobering warnings concerning the types of sins that we become stuck in and, worse yet, those that we return to.  Our enemy is never not working, as the commercial says, and is constantly seeking to gain a foothold in our hearts and minds.  So we must also constantly be at work...rooting out small sins before they grow into big sins, and then immediately backfilling the voids with gospel truths.  Thankfully, God does not leave us alone in this work, but gives us His Spirit as a helper and a guide.  As we read earlier in this letter, "His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness," and so we press on in our work to rid our lives of sin and fill our minds with His truth.
