Backsiding Jeremiah 3:11-14

Backsliding “to slide back, to lapse morally, to forsake Christ our Redeemer and our only hope” “to slide back to where we came from”

Backsliding Is A Real Possibility “Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God” (Heb. 3:12). “You have become estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace” (Gal. 5:4).

The Backsliders Condition God has not left them, they have left God - Isaiah 59:1-2 They are in a worse condition than if they had never heard the truth - 2 Peter 2:20-22 They are destined for eternal punishment in Hell - James 5:19-20

What Causes Backsliding? Evil Associations - 1 Corinthians 15:33 Shallow Spiritual Life - Matthew 13:20-21 Idleness - 1 Timothy 5:11-15 Worldly Success - 1 Timothy 6:9-10 Love of the World - 2 Timothy 4:10

How To Prevent Backsliding Let God say something to you everyday. – Psalm 1:1-3; 2 Timothy 3:16-17 Say something to God everyday. – 1 Thessalonians 5:17; Romans 12:12 Say something for God everyday. – Matthew 5:16 Do something for God everyday. – 1 Corinthians 15:58

The Church Has A Responsibility We are to exhort one another daily. – Hebrews 3:12-13 The shepherds must restore the lost sheep. – Hebrews 13:17 Members are to restore those who are overcome in sin or wandering from the truth. – Galatians 6:1; James 5:19-20

Backsliding Is A Serious Matter The church is losing a member! The Lord is losing a servant! Christians are losing a brother! The community is losing the good influence of a faithful Christian! The backslider is losing his soul! The devil is rejoicing!
