God's patience also just

* Luís Alberto Alves

When we read 2 Peter 2: 17-22, Jesus uses the disciple Peter to say, from verse 20 that ... "So if, after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, is entangled again and are overcome, the latter end is worse than the first. "

Then the Lord continues: "For better for them had never known the way of justice than, after meeting him, volverem back, departing from the holy commandment delivered to them." With them came the saying true adage: "The dog returns to his own vomit; and the nut back to wallowing in the mire. "

In these words, Jesus Christ makes it clear that the person who met his love, lived his commandments, enjoyed his blessings and decided to return to the old life, full of sin and filth, it was better not to have known him. It should be the place where he could never dare leave.

This is a clear sign that God lost patience. There are people who refuse to continue in the presence of the Lord. Themselves ask that fall on their lives the Lord's anger. Sadly, this happens, especially these days.
