Follow me on Facebook under AuntCynthia Whitaker ☺️👑😊 Join me today as we discuss the dangers of backsliding and how that will affect your life and the lives of others around you. We have to beg the question, how many people continue to follow Jesus as their life progresses? Unfortunately some people who seem to start well in the Christian faith don’t finish well. What does the Bible say about those who turn away from God?
A backslider stops following the Lord and falls back into a previous sinful way of life. They desert the Christian faith and are unfaithful and unfruitful. It’s the opposite of repentance and conversion which is turning towards God. It’s also different to apostasy, which is when unbelievers become enemies of Christ after they were associated with the Christian faith. Some of the dangers of backsliding are: (1) You will be turned away from God’s beautiful presence. (2) You will open a door for darkness and demons to invade your previously bright life. (3) You will live a life of condemnation. (4) You will be covered in guilt. (5) You will be covered with shame. (6) The Holy Spirit will depart from you, as the case was with King Saul. 💥 If you do not repent, you will slowly move away from the path to Heaven into a path to .
You can turn back to God.
Here is what God says Jeremiah 15:19 -
"19 Therefore this is what the Lord says:
“If you repent, I will restore you that you may serve me;
if you utter worthy, not worthless, words, you will be my spokesman.
Let this people turn to you,
but you must not turn to them.
