FALLING
AWAY

So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don’t fall.

The Bible, 1 Corinthians 10:12

I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel—which is really no gospel at all.

The Bible, Galatians 1:6

… you have fallen away from grace.

The Bible, Galatians 5:4

See to it, brothers, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God.

The Bible, Hebrews 3:12

To him who is able to keep you from falling.

The Bible, Jude 24

… I hold this against you: You have forsaken your first love.

The Bible, Revelation 2:4

We will often fall; but the Lord will raise us up.

Author unknown

Those who fall away have never been thoroughly imbued with the knowledge of Christ but only had a slight and passing taste of it.

John Calvin

How ready are we to go astray! How easily are we drawn aside into innumerable snares, while in the mean time we are bold and confident, and doubt not but we are right and safe! How much do we stand in need of the wisdom, the power, the condescension, patience, forgiveness, and gentleness of our good Shepherd!

Jonathan Edwards

I cannot comprehend a gospel which lets saints fall away after they are called.

C.H. Spurgeon
