BIBLICAL DESCRIPTION of BACKSLIDING

In this Sunday’s message we were learn about the Biblical description of Backsliding. Backsliding happens when those committed to God (a born-again Christian) falls into the trap of the devil and allows the things of this world to separate them from God.

 

Every Christian is prone to backsliding, your relationship with God is always threatened by the devil. Just like a marriage needs time, communication, intimacy and closeness so must the relationship of God with his people. Nothing good comes from separation from God. Adam and Eve were separated from God because they listened to the devil more instead of the voice of God- “faith comes by hearing” Romans 10:17.

 

Backsliding is subtle process, so let us recognize symptoms of the disease. Assess yourself! We need more praying, more counsel, more of the word of God, and more love for God to escape the trap. Listen in and be fed with knowledge and gain understanding from the teachings of God!
