By all means "Escape"

Topic: By all means "Escape"....Having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust."
2 Peter 1:4


Vanish for ever all thoughts of indulging the flesh if you would live in the power of your risen Lord. It is ill to believe that a person who is alive in Christ should dwell in the corruption of sin. The Word of God says "Why seek ye the living among the dead?" said the angel to Magdalene. Should the living dwell in the sepulchre? Should divine life be immured in the carnel house of fleshly lust? How can we partake of the cup of the Lord and yet drink the cup of Belial? Surely for believers are free from lusts and sins we are delivered:



Have you also escaped from the more secret and delusive lime-twigs of the Satanic power...Have you come forth from the lust of pride? Have you escaped from slothfulness? Have you clean escaped from carnal security? Are you seeking day by day to live above worldliness, the pride of life, and the ensnaring vice of the enemy? Remember, it is for this that you have been enriched with the treasures of God. If you be indeed the chosen of God, and beloved by Him, do not allow the lavishness of grace to be wasted. Follow after holiness; it is the Christian's crown and glory.



Remember, you are God's chosen.... reign over your lusts. You are God's chosen: do not associate with Belial (the world). Heaven is your portion: live like a heavenly preist, so shall you prove that you have true faith in Jesus; for there cannot be faith in the heart unless there be holiness in the life.

"Lord, I desire to live as one
Who bears a blood-bought name,
As one who fears but grieving Thee,
And knows no other shame."
