Escape the pollution!
- Pastor Ashish Mathews
II Peter 2:20
For if, after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the latter end is worse for them than the beginning.
The world we live in is polluted. It's not the air or noise pollution but rather the pollution caused by lust. All that is in the world is - lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes and pride of life. Lust, selfishness and pride causes self destruction.
The only escape to the pollutions of this world is by knowing our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. This knowledge refers to having a precise and correct knowledge, to
become thoroughly acquainted with, to know thoroughly and to know well. How do you grow in the knowledge of Jesus? You grow in His knowledge by growing in His word and by growing in your communion with the Holy Spirit. Once we are born again, we are to grow in the word of God and become rooted and established in His word. Desire to grow! Refuse to be a baby!
As you grow in your knowledge of Jesus, grace and peace will be multiplied to you. As you grow in His knowledge, you will partake of the divine nature in you and you will escape the pollutions of this dark world and your life will attract many to Jesus, the King of kings and Lord of lords. Submerge yourself in the word. Total immersion in the word. Escape the pollution! Escape the self destruction! Go on with Jesus!
