This is a great quote from 2 Peter 1:4, albeit in Spanish. In English, our Bible reads "...having escaped the corruption that is in the world..." To directly, word by word translate the Spanish back into English, it would say "having run for your life from the corruption that is in the world." Striking, isn't it?
The problem is we aren't running for our life (a great picture of escaping, no?) from the corruption of the world--we running back to the world like our lives depend on it's corruption from lust. How sad!
The Word of God is so specific. I love it. I preached a message last night called "Christians with Good Vision" out of 2 Peter 1:1-10. I mentioned far and near sighted folks, folks with blurry vision, the cross-eyed, the blind and the blind in one eye. I applied the truth of the Word of God that if we don't have all the spiritual traits mentioned in the passage, we're blind, we can't see very far off, and that if that is the case we need to examine our salvation.
We had such a good time in the Word of God. The people responded well and God blessed the meeting. What a GOOD God we serve!
