If You Return to Sin After Being Delivered From It, Your Punishment Will Be Worse
2 Peter 2:20-22
[20]For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.
[21]For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them.
[22]But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.
To learn something is sinful and to turn and repent of it, but then return to that sin is like a dog returning to it's vomit. It's better not to know something is sinful than to learn it's sinful and return to it after God has delivered you. Don't return to your wickedness, no matter how hard it is to be righteous. Ask God and the Holy Spirit for strength to walk in rightstanding with Him and not fall weak to flesh.
I know we can't be sinless, I know it takes time to change your lifestyle from habits and wordly mindsets, but in the end there's no excuses for knowledgeably sinning than to admit selfishness, wickedness, and to know eternal punishment is the result of such ignorant defiance of the Lord. Prayers that I myself, the lost and unsaved, and other brothers and sisters in Christ, completely turn from sin and backsliding. No matter how much it "made us happy", "satisfied us", seemed "harmless" to our souls, or how "miserable" we feel without it. Firstly God is the only thing that can actually make us happy and anything else is deception by our flesh. Secondly, we should rather prefer misery and holy suffering in our temporary lives far more than anything that risks the reward of eternal suffering and damnation. You don't have to be happy, you just have to obey God's commands and be holy. Maybe choosing that will have God bless us with happiness we don't see coming until we're truly righteous. I pray we forsake feelings and emotions, and only act out of holiness righteousness and purity.
#and maaaaaybe i condemn things that aren't actually unholy and sinful like loving fashion or watching superhero cartoons#but at this point if it even has a chance of becoming something i love more than God i completely drop it#i dream of nothing and want nothing and pursue nothing unless it's directly related to serving God#and yeah i'm sad that i can't return to watching sinful youtubers and movies or listening to 80s music and kpop because they're fun#i want to have fun. i want to be able to enjoy life without breaking into a cold sweat that God hates everything i enjoy and care about#but I should do what He commands even if it doesn't satisfy me the way i »think« temporary hobbies and dreams do#there's nothing in this world for us. we just think there is#forsake it all and be a vessel to bring souls to Christ. eternal salvation beats any happiness and satisfaction in this life. i can do it.#not suggesting everyone has to do what I'm doing but if you're attached to meaningless things that won't get you to heaven... let it go#boohoo poor widdle evil wordly me has a sad blah blah blah blah blah k i'm done trying to justify my wickedness now sorry bye 🫣#God#Jesus#christianity#faith#turn from sin to God#repent of your sins#do not return to sin#forsake worldliness#forsake the world#hate all sin#deny flesh#deny self#be holy not happy#you don't have a life. you have a purpose#there is nothing but God#you are a sinner#you are wicked#bible study#bible verses#may it please the Lord
