Ways of Backsliders – Part 5


Deny Christ

2 Timothy 2:12  

If we endure, we will also reign with him. If we disown him, he will also disown us;

Love the present world

2 Timothy 4:10

For Demas, because he loved this world, has deserted me and has gone to Thessalonica. Crescens has gone to Galatia, and Titus to Dalmatia.

Depart from God

Hebrews 3:12 

See to it, brothers, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God.

Harden hearts by sin

Hebrews 3:12-13  

12 See to it, brothers, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God.

13 But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin's deceitfulness.

Fall in unbelief

Hebrews 4:11  

Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will fall by following their example of disobedience.

Fall away

Hebrews 6:4-9 

4 It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit,

5 who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age,

6  if they fall away, to be brought back to repentance, because to their loss they are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting him to public disgrace.

7 Land that drinks in the rain often falling on it and that produces a crop useful to those for whom it is farmed receives the blessing of God.

8 But land that produces thorns and thistles is worthless and is in danger of being cursed. In the end it will be burned.

9 Even though we speak like this, dear friends, we are confident of better things in your case—things that accompany salvation.
