[The Glory Unveiled]
Therefore, dear friends, since you have been forewarned, be on your guard so that you may not be carried away by the error of the lawless and fall from your secure position ( 2 Peter 3:17 )
To be forewarned is a good reason to be forearmed. The introductory statement of the verse of scripture suggests that a provision has been made for something inevitable. “Since we have been forewarned….” there is a course to take action against what we were warned about. It is easy to be carried away by the error of the lawless. The error which also works in children of disobedience. The Bible speaking of this error, says God exalts the humble and opposes the proud (James 4:6). This error which now carries many away as a result of their trust in the secular knowledge they have acquired is pride. The destruction of pride is constant though it may linger and stall. Another thing about pride is that it pulls down. It is the reason for the fall of many great people; pride in plain sight or concealed pride drains. For this reason, we must be on guard against this crafty destroyer so that we will not fall from our secure position in Christ. Let’s remain in the confine of God’s grace for us.
Prayer_Bead: Gracious Lord, thank your to the opportunity of your grace. Thank you for forewarning us through your word to be on guard against the destruction of pride. Keep me in this time through your wisdom.
