Backsliding
Individual TopicsSteve Gregg
In "Backsliding," Steve Gregg delves into the topic of turning away from God and slipping backward in one's spiritual journey. He identifies two types of backsliders: those who lose ground but remain Christians, and those who defect and apostatize from the faith. Through examples from the Bible, Gregg emphasizes the importance of maintaining a passion for truth and love for God, guarding oneself against compromise, and remaining repentant when one falls into sin. While there is hope for backsliders, returning to the faith is not an easy matter and requires diligence and vigilance.
