Subject: How does God handle a backslider? |
Bible Note: John, You know it happened to me!! But once the Holy Spirit gets inside you, you can't keep running away. Yeshua prayed in John 17 for those Abba had given Him that He had kept them and none of them were lost (except the son of perdition) - we, each one of us who bless His name, belong to that group of "them." I think every believer has the capacity to drift away (and many do because we forget that we must "take up our cross daily") but if we are truly His, we will be found and brought back into the fold.
