Again Entangled

2 Peter 2:20 (NASB)

For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world by the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and are overcome, the last state has become worse for them than the first.

Many who come to Jesus will not overcome the world. They will be overcome by the world. “The knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ” will not save them. Turning their backs to His light, they return to the darkness that leads to destruction. We must continue to choose Christ after we we have chosen Him as our Savior. Each day we are in the presence of the forbidden fruit, but our salvation is ensured by always reaching for the fruit that hangs from the tree of life.
