"For if, after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the latter end is worse for them than the beginning."2 Peter 2:20
After enjoying salvation, if one does not watch, he can be entangled by the variety of traps the devil sets before him, making it hard to return to the Kingdom of God.
true Mrs Ester we should be watchful because temptations will always be there but if we are not watching we will foll and the bible state that once one foll its almost impossible to go back to the first love that he had for the Lord Jesus.
ReplyDeleteAs the bible says,Let the wheat and weeds both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn,in other words God raised his servants to serve him and as well the devil raised his own servants,so watch out for those servants that has been raised by the devil because they are the one's that can take you out in the Kingdom of God or in his presents.
ReplyDeleteHello Mrs Ester
ReplyDeleteIt’s true that if we do not watch and pray we can easily fall into temptation or the traps of the devil. It is true Mrs Ester that when a person has fallen it is hard for him to get up again, the bible says that it is difficult for a person who has seen the light and has fallen to come back to the light again. This means that when have received our salvation we need to do everything to keep it because it is easy for us to get it but it is difficult to keep it. We need to stand firm in our faith and make sure nothing causes us to stumble. If the devil comes with his evil schemes we must rebuke and he will flee from us. Let us keep the fire burning at all times and protect our salvation. Thank you Mrs Ester.
If we were once enlighten and rescued by our Lord and Saviour, the devil is always going try and plan traps (temptation) for us to go back. He says that it will be worse for us who were once taken from our old lives then to go back. It also says entangled. Not snatched or fallen. When you think or two wires, they become tangled because they are both clinging to one another. Which shows me that the devil will attempt to bring you back but he needs your agreement to work, then from there he take you back with Him. However if we are always in spirit. The devil will try but you will be able to flee away from his traps.
ReplyDeleteThank you
Once the person being converted, she must watch every second to anything, nor devil, nor the deceitful heart deviate her from her real target that is the eternal salvation. And one of the hardest things is the person, after having turned away, return the same faith as before.
ReplyDeleteEven if we are enjoying our salvation, we should have our eyes open for the traps that the devil puts in life. Because if we fall in one of his traps we can lose our salvation, which will make it hard to return to the Kingdom of God.
ReplyDeletewe must constantly be watchful because satan is patient he will wait for the moment when one is weak and attack, so its important that we should he in prayer and being watchful so that we may not go back to the world
ReplyDeleteHello Mrs ester
ReplyDeleteIt is true that when you are saved you are the target of the devil so let us be alert or watchful. when you have fallen it is totally not easy to come back so lets look forward and keep the faith. Thank you for the message.
Hello Mrs Ester
ReplyDeleteit is true that when people have their salvation they become relaxed and do not fight to remain saved. there is a say that says once saved always saved this means that they should not seek more of the presence of God. we must hold fast to our faith so that we will not fall to the traps of the devil because when we fall it hard to return to God. thank Mrs ester
Hello Mrs Ester,
ReplyDeleteThis message for me indicates to be the strongest because it clearly states that even when we have gained our salvation sometimes we end up becoming too comfortable but we have to remember that it is a constant fight just like everyone else it doesn't matter what stage we maybe in the faith but we have to continuously persevere and overcome all battles each day as well as not giving in to our fleshly desires because we know the consequences of what bad actions can lead to.
this is a really clear message and shows the we always have to be aware so that we can keep are salvation
ReplyDelete"Watch out"
ReplyDeleteHello Ms Ester
this message has made me open my eyes, because it shows how salvation is so important in your life- meaning without your salvation, you wouldnt be saved.
The devil will make you fall into temptation and when he does he will make you feel like you are nothing.
we have to be prepared for everything and we have to step on the devil's head, to show him whose boss...
Thank you Ms Ester

When we "enjoy" salvation- we can interpret this as meaning to be relaxed with it. It is not wrong for us to be in peace, but salvation is something that must be achieved daily, I pray that this is a fact that I constantly remain alert to.
