Escaping the Snare

Looking further into 2 Tim2:2
"...gently instruct, in the hope that God will grant them repentance
leading to the knowledge of the truth,
That they may come to their senses
And escape the snare of the devil, having been held captive to do his will.



If you are in the snare of the devil, what does the Word say the devil does with you?

Holds you captive to do his will.

So that ought to be a good deterent to keep us away from the unhealthy things that we know can have a hold on us. However, if we find ourselves ensnared this verse indicates we can be free from it through repentance. (Greek= metanoia =change of mind)

Rom 12:2 "And do not be conformed to this world , but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is..."

Now, that's what this blog is all about. Transforming!
