Marks of Backsliding

Living the world

2 Timothy 4:10

for Demas has forsaken me, having loved this present world, and has departed for Thessalonica—Crescens for Galatia, Titus for Dalmatia.

Hardening of heart

Hebrews 3:8

Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion,
In the day of trial in the wilderness,
Jealous eye

1 Samuel 18:2

Saul took him that day, and would not let him go home to his father's house anymore.

1 Samuel 18:9

So Saul eyed David from that day forward.

Forsaking love

Revelation 2:4

Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love.

Getting offended

John 6:61

When Jesus knew in Himself that His disciples complained about this, He said to them, “Does this offend you?

John 6:66

From that time many of His disciples went back and walked with Him no more.

Prayer

. Father, thank you for giving me new life in Jesus. I am truly thankful that my guilt is covered by your grace. I ask for the power to live my life of freedom from sin. Forgive me for my times of mediocrity and flirtation with sin. Give me a strong sense of revulsion toward anything that would pollute my soul or distract my heart from your will. In the name of Jesus I pray. Amen.
