When we’ve received redemptive revelation…the saving truth of the Gospel Message and Jesus Christ as our Savior…but we willfully and intentionally rebel against Him…there’s nothing left for us but judgment. Peter summed it up well in II Peter 2:20 when he wrote, “If they have escaped the corruption of the world by knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and are again entangled in it and overcome, they’re worse off at the end than they were at the beginning.” Here Peter was calling out false teachers who claimed to be Christians but in reality their knowledge of Christ was only superficial, their escape from the world’s influences were only temporary, and their confessions of faith rang hollow and were quickly abandoned. It was as if they were deliberately and defiantly trampling Christ’s shed blood underfoot, so little regard did they give His sacrificial death.
