Anyone can come back from backsliding
Today we will look in to the scripture portion
2 Peter 2:20-22
If they have escaped the corruption of the world by knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and are again entangled in it and are overcome, they are worse off at the end than they were at the beginning. It would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than to have known it and then to turn their backs on the sacred command that was passed on to them. Of them the proverbs are true: “A dog returns to its vomit,” and, “A sow that is washed returns to her wallowing in the mud.
Many became so passionate in their life about God and fellowship only to later backslide and live in flesh . Such people may have once been delivered miraculously and if they backside their wrath will be worse. There are many reasons why people may backslide many of which may be due to external influences that they get through misleading media or information regarding their congregations which impart negative vibes and they tend to not be part of any fellowship which will slowly lead them to backside totally. In the above scripture portion two proverbs are sited one is about a
“A dog returns to its vomit,” which shows once saved man backslide and go back to his old sinful life. The another is "A sow that is washed returns to her wallowing in the mud, which us referring to a pig even after bathing will return and get himself dirty .This also depicts an individual returning to his old past life in flesh after backsliding from a good spiritual life they led due to various reasons.
Hebrew 10 : 28 -31
28 Anyone who rejected the law of Moses died without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses.29 How much more severely do you think someone deserves to be punished who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant that sanctified them, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace? 30 For we know him who said, “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,”and again, “The Lord will judge his people.”31 It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
Here it shows that people are not struggling with sin but are indulged in sin and go about intentionally sinning. Our God is a forgiving God; he accepts everyone . He is not one with a hardened heart ,regardless of the sinful .God is willing for anything. We may face many intentional accusations against God's people and congregations but know that none is perfect only God has the right to judge . Again I am telling you to return to your fellowship and not backslide .We will welcome all backsliders just like Jesus welcomes all sinners .
We have so far discussed about people who live in the realm of flesh and in the flesh but after being saved we are living in the Spirit. It is seen even after being born again we still have that inclination of sins and if we are having the struggle to fight sin then they have hope to get God's kingdom not like people who will be fully indulged in sin. God initially created us sinless but because of the devil we all came in body fallen. We all can return to God and be sinless in Jesus.
