Things Men Can Do

Draw back unto perdition instead of progressing with Salvation of the Soul

Hebrews 10:38-39  

38 But my righteous one will live by faith. And if he shrinks back, I will not be pleased with him.”

39 But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who believe and are saved.

Trust their back on God

Jeremiah 2:27  

They say to wood, ‘You are my father,’ and to stone, ‘You gave me birth.’ They have turned their backs to me and not their faces; yet when they are in trouble, they say, ‘Come and save us!’

Slide back with a perpetual backsliding

Jeremiah 8:5  

Why then have these people turned away? Why does Jerusalem always turn away? They cling to deceit; they refuse to return.

Be turned away back

Jeremiah 38:22  

All the women left in the palace of the king of Judah will be brought out to the officials of the king of Babylon. Those women will say to you: “‘they misled you and overcame you— those trusted friends of yours. Your feet are sunk in the mud; your friends have deserted you.’

Jeremiah 46:5  

What do I see? They are terrified, they are retreating, and their warriors are defeated. They flee in haste without looking back, and there is terror on every side,” declares the LORD.

Slide back like a backsliding heifer

Hosea 4:16  

The Israelites are stubborn, like a stubborn heifer. How then can the LORD pasture them like lambs in a meadow?

Look back and become unfit for Kingdom of God

Luke 9:62  

Jesus replied, “No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God.”
