We can’t live out the Gospel by accident. As Alistair Begg explains, we must contend for the Gospel, living with purpose and intentionality. Scoffers and con artists are ever present, waiting to draw Christians off the path. If the body of Christ continues to keep us in the love of Christ, though, we will be saved. We must also deal gently with those who doubt, pointing them to the love which keeps us all, for the glory of His name.
17But you must remember, beloved, the predictions of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ. 18They6 said to you, “In the last time there will be scoffers, following their own ungodly passions.” 19It is these who cause divisions, worldly people, devoid of the Spirit. 20But you, beloved, building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, 21keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life. 22And have mercy on those who doubt; 23save others by snatching them out of the fire; to others show mercy with fear, hating even the garment7 stained by the flesh.
24Now to him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you blameless before the presence of his glory with great joy, 25to the only God, our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen.
