From a first hand perspective, Peter wrote about the need to guard against Apostasy! Which shows up as a slow departure from faith. It’s the little compromises that settle in to our beliefs & daily routines of life. We forget that when temptation hits us, Satan is the one trying to divert us away from God; “Did God really say…” (Gen. 3:1-b), and he tries to seduce our weakness into compromise. That’s temptation – c.p. (James 1:14-16) NKJV BUT, knowing God’s truth allows us to detect Satan’s intrusions, and living out God’s truth allows us to walk in power to defeat apostasy!

Be Faithful In The Day Of Apostasy

Peter was death-bed writing to warn believers of the coming flood of error that would sweep over the church! His first letter dealt with external conditions of Christian suffering: Brought on by government officials & pressure from a hostile culture. In his second letter, It’s a totally different topic being covered: False doctrine & moral compromise IN the church!

During a time of heightened apostasy & rampant heresy in the church we must continue to study the scriptures and maintain a close walk with Jesus. He amplifies three examples that are designed to provide HOPE in the consistency of God’s control! The angels who sinned (v.4) = (Gen. 6) The ancient world during Noah’s day (v.5) = (Gen. 6) The Cities of Sodom & Gomorrah during Lot’s day (v.6) = (Gen. 19). All of these examples point to the irrefutable FACT that God will judge the unrepentant / wicked / sinners!
