2 Peter chapter 2 is a bit on the gloomy side. Peter is trying to express the importance of not only following God, but also of not rejecting Him once you have been introduced to the knowledge of Jesus Christ. Verse 20 says, If they have escaped the corruption of the world by knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and are again entangled in it and overcome, they are worse off at the end than they were at the beginning. God wants a relationship with us. He wants to lead us and guide us and trust in Him. This is not to say everything will be perfect in the end, but at least we will be close to God; knowing we followed His leading and lived according to His perfect plan.
