Resurrection Mission Baptist Church of Berkley, Michigan, Oakland County, https://resurrectionmission.com presents Pastor Joseph Chatten speaking on, Offered by False Christians (2 Peter 2:19-20).
       You cannot set someone free if you are in bondage yourself. Eph. 4:17. Take off the old man and put on the new man. If you are redeemed you are set free. Some profess to be saved but have never really been redeemed. While being promised liberty these apostates are servants of sin. When sin is your master you are in the worst possible situation you can imagine. In vv. 3, 14, they were in bondage to money. They were also in bondage to fleshly lusts, vv. 10, 14. We should include weak men as well. They thought nothing of demeaning Christ and the Apostles. It is interesting to compare the three people mentioned: Noah, Lot, and Balaam in this chapter. Lot kept himself pure but he didn’t separate. He hated the wickedness of Sodom but exposed his daughters and wife to godless influences. Balaam not only sinned but encouraged others to sin. Lot lost his family but Balaam lost his life. Sin promises freedom but brings bondage. There is no way to escape except through the freedom in Christ. People are prisoners of their own appetites and habits. Lk. 4:16. Christ’s meaning of freedom is different from the apostates and it is accomplished in a different way. The true nature of a thing is the highest it can become. The apostate brings their followers by lies. Jn. 8:32: The truth shall make you free!
