Who Are Just Escaping

2 Peter 2:12 

"But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed,

speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall

utterly perish in their own corruption;"

    There are two forms of evil here that characterize the last days: "The false and corrupt teaching of bad men, and the unbelief which denies the return of the Lord on the grounds of stability of the visible creation." There is no question here as to the title of the Lord, nor of redemption.

    The description of these false teachers are just! They are slaves to their brute instincts. They are as abusive as they are ignorant. They destroy and will be destroyed. They feasted in broad daylight, instead of leading self disciplined and sober lives. With them, the very church feasts were occasions for self-indulgence. Their eyes never ceased from the sin against which the Lord warns us in, "But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart," (Matt.5:28).
    The will of man, is always poising itself between its knowledge of good and evil and its strong bias toward evil. Only the help of God can correct this. Let us “who are just escaping,” (2 Pet 2:18)  
 from the meshes of the world, beware lest we be caught in the nets of false teaching, which would drag us back into the evils of the worldly life. It is in our heart-felt union with the Lord Jesus Christ alone that we can be permanently secure. 
Amen!
