Adversity pursues sinners: This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire of the flesh and despise authority. 2 Peter 2:10
The second epistle of Saint Peter is a review of many truths of the faith.
God gives back according to their actions to all men, is a spiritual truth that God is a high judge, but also mankind lives in a universe governed by ethical laws established by the understanding of God, the apostle Peter taught to us.
For all this, those who have been baptized must strive to pass from a life full of sins to a life of righteousness ("Do to others what you would have them do to you" Matthew 7:12), that is the most important meaning of grace, the apostle emphasized in his second epistle. Baptism as a sacrament implies a radical change in the look of things, the Lord wants us to accept his mercy (compassion, kindness, gentleness) with a heart of flesh and not of stone.
Those who do this are blessed and walk through life without destructive unforeseen events: "For if you do these things, you will never stumble, and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ" 2 Peter 1:10-11.
The apostle Peter taught us to seek the correct and the best to receive the gift of eternal life, avoiding heresies that confuse and harm believers. Because it is fundamental on this path to holiness ("Be holy, because I am holy" 1 Peter 1:16), to know the difference between the prophetic word and heresy (teaching of the error).
Because those who sin and follow heresies is because they also ignore that God is patient and that things can take a long time or a little but everything comes, the adversity pursues sinners.
That is why those who follow Jesus and his kingdom, the dominion of God's perfections, should not forget something that is repeated insistently in the gospels:
"The Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials and to hold the unrighteous for punishment on the day of judgment. This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire of the flesh and despise authority" 2 Peter 2:9-10.
Jesus loves us and wishes us well, insisted the apostle, but it is up to us to accept his gifts or not.
