“Today we’re stepping into a sobering and often misunderstood biblical theme—apostasy.
In the New Testament, apostasy isn’t simply doubt, struggle, or seasons of spiritual dryness. It’s the deliberate turning away from Christ after having genuinely encountered the truth of the gospel. Scripture speaks about it carefully, seriously, and always with a pastoral concern for the church.
Passages like Hebrews 6, Hebrews 10, and the warnings of Jesus Himself remind us that faith is not merely something we profess once, but something we are called to hold fast to, to persevere in, and to guard with humility and vigilance. These texts aren’t written to terrify sincere believers—they’re written to awaken us, to call us to endurance, and to point us again to the sufficiency of Christ.
As we talk about apostasy today, we’re not doing so from a place of fear, but from a desire for clarity—asking what the Bible actually says, how these warnings function in the life of the church, and how they ultimately drive us toward deeper dependence on Jesus, who is able to keep us to the end.”*
