2 Peter 3:17-18 Part 1 of 2

Therefore, dear friends, since you have been forewarned, be on your guard so that you may not be carried away by the error of the lawless and fall from your secure position. But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen.

Since you have been forewarned, be on your guard 
1 Corinthians 10:12  So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don't fall!
Romans 11:20-21  Granted. But they were broken off because of unbelief, and you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but tremble. For if God did not spare the natural branches, he will not spare you either. 
2 Corinthians 1:24  Not that we lord it over your faith, but we work with you for your joy, because it is by faith you stand firm.

so that you may not be carried away by the error of the lawless 
2 Peter 2:18  For they mouth empty, boastful words and, by appealing to the lustful desires of the flesh, they entice people who are just escaping from those who live in error.
2 Peter 2:19  They promise them freedom, while they themselves are slaves of depravity--for "people are slaves to whatever has mastered them."
2 Peter 2:20  If they have escaped the corruption of the world by knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and are again entangled in it and are overcome, they are worse off at the end than they were at the beginning.

and fall from your secure position 
Revelation 2:5  "Consider how far you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first. If you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place."
Jeremiah 2:2  "Go and proclaim in the hearing of Jerusalem: This is what the LORD says: 'I remember the devotion of your youth, how as a bride you loved me and followed me through the wilderness, through a land not sown.' "
Matthew 24:12-13  "Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved."
