God Loves US!

Greetings! 2Peter 2:20 If they have escaped the corruption of the world by knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and are again again entangled in it and overcome, they are worse off at the end then they were in the beginning. This is a Vs that is so commonly misconstrued and taken out of text. So many people want to make this Vs seem to say that if you have know the way of Jesus and then you turn your back on Him, You have lost your salvation. but if you take a good look at this vs you will see it says nothing like that. it just says it will be worse for you than in the beginning. i can atest to this Vs because i have been there. I found Jesus (truely found him) in 2000. and because I wasnt ready to give up some of the things in my life. To truely deny mySELF. I went back to my old ways of drinking and drugging and living a life not worthy of jesus. But does that mean He stopped loving me? Does it mean my name was taken out of the Book of Life? I don't think so. I think my life was just going to be a little more trouble some. If you read Hebrews Chap 12 it will tell you how God disiplines us. Just like a Father disiplines his sons. In AA they have a saying that, after you have guit drinking, but then you return to it. You don't start over, you pick up at the same place you left off. And for most of us that was in a pit. It is the same with Jesus. If He has come into your heart and changed you. But yet you go back to your old ways and turn your back on him. You just step back into the darkness of the world again. And it will only get darker, until you again choose to turn around and walk towards the light again. That light is Jesus. We all make mistakes and step back into the darkness of the world. But Jesus is always there to guide us back. I think what this Vs should say is if you have known Jesus and turn your back on him. Life is going to be worse than it was before. HABD!
