For certain men have crept in unnoticed, who long ago were marked out for this condemnation, ungodly men, who turn the grace of our God into lewdness and deny the only Lord God and our Lord Jesus Christ.

But I want to remind you, though you once knew this, that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt,

destroyed
those
who
did
not
believe.
6
And the angels who did not keep their proper domain, but left their own abode, He has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of the great day;

as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them in a similar manner to these, having given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.

Slide7A Familiar Pattern of Departure
First, Our Faith Is Undermined
Hebrew writer noted same with Israel
(
Heb. 3:12-19
;
4:11
)
Solution:
Hebrews 4:12-13
Same warning applies to us (
Rom. 11:20-23
;
Heb. 10:36-39
)
All departure from God has origin in loss of faith
Then, Self Is Exalted to Replace God’s Order
“
…
did not keep their proper domain, but left their own abode”
Look at Saul (
1 Sam. 13:8-9…13-14
;
15:2-3…9-11…17-23
)
Same applies to us (
James 4:6-10
;
Col. 3:16-17
)
If faith does not focus on word, change comes in worship…
Finally, Comes Rejection of God-Ordained Morality
True of Israel & Gentiles (
1 Cor. 10:1-12
;
Rom. 1:18-32
)
Same warning applies to us (
2 Pet. 2:17-22
;
1 Thess. 4:3-7
)
Principle is true when applied to society, church or individual
Failure to Respect Need for Warning Evidences Folly
