"While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage.
For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning."
2 Peter 2:19-20
This is a good reminder that freedom comes through Christ and the gospel, and people that preach "freedom" from God and his commandments are actually seeking to enslave us, or to see us enslaved as servants of sin. God's desire is never to control or force us, but rather to help us to be free and able to make our own decisions without force or coercion.
Today, let's step back and see things as they really are, and not be led astray by those who hate us, or even worse, just don't care at all about our eternal welfare or anyone else's. Let's trust in God, who loves us and works for our welfare and happiness. If we get ourselves stuck in a hole, we can still turn to him, and he will come and help us out, unlike anyone who helped lead us there. Let's turn to him.
