1:6 And the angels who did not keep their [a]proper domain, but left their own abode, He has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of the great day;
1:7 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 [b]vengeance of eternal fire.
1:8 Likewise also these dreamers defile the flesh, reject authority, and speak evil of [c]dignitaries.
STUDY:
Today’s text emphasises the reality of God’s judgment against the rebellious and unrighteous. Sodom and Gomorrah who sold themselves to sexual immorality and perversion were given the right dose of God’s anger and condemnation; Angels who abandoned their estates were kept in darkness and bound with everlasting chains. God’s judgment is severe and hard. God is merciful and kind but those who do not regard His words and instructions will face the consequence which is always very harsh and tough.
A life that is given to unrighteousness, perversion and immorality is running the danger of being confined to everlasting chain and torture. You must ensure that you resist whatever the devil does to lure you into unrighteousness. Again, you must do everything within your power as enabled by the power of Holy Spirit, to persuade others to live their lives in righteousness and holiness so as to escape the anger and judgment of God.
Prayer:
Almighty God, help me to flee from unrighteous living so that my end will not be in everlasting chains. Amen!
