* Christ is truth, do not drift away!
*, perseverance, holiness, patience, truthfulness.
* supplement your faith – do these things to never fall away
* Promised a pure bride – but you put up with everything (impure)
* Spiritual circumcision – rooted in Christ
* Pure hearts = pure actions. Corrupt hearts = unknown to/by God
Living in the flesh – a backslidden church
Examine yourselves to see if your faith is genuine
returning to spiritual slavery
widows – following satan
, , letters to the churches apply to us
,
Avoid a shipwrecked faith. Error has consequences.
A Warning:
Disdain for the Holy Spirit, no sacrifice to cover this!!!
Burden for the Backslidden:
bear one another’s burdens, help them back
encouragement – bring someone back
teaching right things
warning to stay away – but still treat them as bro & sis.
Getting Back:
* Confess our sins and He is faithful and just to forgive us
return to me & I will return to you.
return to me
Final Word:
* Ending the night by using the red letters!
