BACKSLIDERS!
HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED HOW YOU GOT SO FAR FROM
GOD? DO YOU WANT TO KNOW HOW TO RETURN TO HIM?
Backsliding, in many cases, is a slow process.
It doesnt usually happen over night. It sneaks
in and take over your spiritual life as if you
were asleep while it was happening. That can
happen when you start doing the same things you
repented of. That can happen when you associate
yourself with the same people you lived ungodly
with, it can happen when you begin to settle for
sin instead of righteousness.
The Bible says in 1 Corinthians 15 33 Be not
deceived evil communications corrupt good
manners.

Ephesians 53  BUT FORNICATION, AND ALL
UNCLEANNESS, OR COVETOUSNESS, LET IT NOT BE ONCE
NAMED AMONG YOU, AS BECOMETH SAINTS
Ephesians 51  Be ye therefore followers of God,
as dear children  Ephesians 52  And walk in
love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath
given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice
to God for a sweetsmelling savour.  Ephesians
53 see heading above. Ephesians 54  Neither
filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting,
which are not convenient but rather giving of
thanks.  Ephesians 55  For this ye know, that no
whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous
man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in
the kingdom of Christ and of God.  Ephesians 56 
Let no man deceive you with vain words for
because of these things cometh the wrath of God
upon the children of disobedience.  Ephesians
57  Be not ye therefore partakers with
them.  Ephesians 58  For ye were sometimes
darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord walk
as children of light  Ephesians 59  (For the
fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and
righteousness and truth)  Ephesians 510 
Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord. 
4
HAVE NO FELLOWSHIP WITH THE UNFRUITFUL WORKS OF
DARKNESS.
Ephesians 511  And have no fellowship with the
unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove
them.  Ephesians 512  For it is a shame even to
speak of those things which are done of them in
secret.  Ephesians 513  But all things that are
reproved are made manifest by the light for
whatsoever doth make manifest is
light.  Ephesians 514  Wherefore he saith, Awake
thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and
Christ shall give thee light.  Ephesians 515 
See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as
fools, but as wise,  Ephesians 516  Redeeming
the time, because the days are evil.  Ephesians
517  Wherefore be ye not unwise, but
understanding what the will of the Lord
is.  Ephesians 518  And be not drunk with wine,
wherein is excess but be filled with the
Spirit  Ephesians 519  Speaking to yourselves
in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing
and making melody in your heart to the
Lord  Ephesians 520  Giving thanks always for
all things unto God and the Father in the name of
our Lord Jesus Christ  Ephesians 521 
Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear
of God.

BACKSLIDERS!
You may have been deceived into believing that
God will never take you back, but that is a lie
from the enemy of your soul satan. If you are
truly sorry for your sins, tell God. Repent of
those sins, and God will take you back no
matter how far you have backslid!

Luke 1517-24  And when he came to himself, he
said, How many hired servants of my father's have
bread enough and to spare, and I perish with
hunger! I will arise and go to my father, and
will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against
heaven, and before thee, And am no more worthy to
be called thy son make me as one of thy hired
servants. And he arose, and came to his father.
But when he was yet a great way off, his father
saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on
his neck, and kissed him. And the son said unto
him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and
in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called
thy son.  But the father said to his servants,
Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him and
put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his
feet And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill
it and let us eat, and be merry For this my son
was dead, and is alive again he was lost, and is
found. And they began to be merry.

Luke 1510  Likewise, I say unto you, there is

sinner that repenteth. 
I am so happy that God never stopped loving me,
even though I was backslid. I have turned back to
the One who loves me more than anyone. I praise
his holy name. I hope, I pray, that all
backsliders (man, woman, and child) will come
back to God, the Savior of their souls.

FOR THOSE WHO ARE NOT BORN AGAIN OF THE WATER AND
OF THE SPIRIT, SCRIPTURES BELOW WILL TELL YOU
WHAT YOU MUST DO.
Acts 236  Therefore let all the house of Israel
know assuredly, that God hath made that same
Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and
Christ.  Acts 237  Now when they heard this,
they were pricked in their heart, and said unto
Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and
brethren, what shall we do?  Acts 238  Then
Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized
every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for
the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the
gift of the Holy Ghost.  Acts 239  For the
promise is unto you, and to your children, and to
all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord
our God shall call. 
15
OBEY THE WORD OF GOD AS TAUGHT BY HIS DISCIPLES.
JOHN 1720 Neither pray I for these alone, but
for them also which shall believe on me through
their word
Mathew 1040  He that receiveth you receiveth me,
and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent
me. 
Galatians 18  But though we, or an angel from
heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than
that which we have preached unto you, let him be
accursed. Galatians 19  As we said before, so
say I now again, If any man preach any other
gospel unto you than that ye have received, let
him be accursed.
Mark 1615  And he said unto them, Go ye into all
the world, and preach the gospel to every
creature.  Mark 1616  He that believeth and is
baptized shall be saved but he that believeth
not shall be damned.  Mark 1617  And these signs
shall follow them that believe In my name shall
they cast out devils they shall speak with new
tongues

2 Corinthians 511  Knowing therefore the terror
of the Lord, we persuade men but we are made
manifest unto God and I trust also are made
manifest in your consciences.

2 Corinthians 511 (Albert Barnes
Commentary) Knowing therefore - We who are
apostles, and who are appointed to preach the
gospel, having the fullest assurance of the
terrors of the day of judgment, and of the wrath
of God, endeavor to persuade people to be
prepared to meet Him, and to give up their
account. The terror of the Lord - This is, of the
Lord Jesus, who will be seated on the throne of
judgment, and who will decide the destiny of all
people, 2Co_510 compare Matt. 25. The sense is,
knowing how much the Lord is to be feared what
an object of terror and alarm it will be to stand
at the judgment-seat how fearful and awful will
be the consequences of the trial of that day. The
Lord Jesus will be an object of terror and alarm,
or it will be a subject inspiring terror and
alarm to stand there on that day, because (1) He
has all power, and is appointed to execute
judgment (2) Because all must there give a
strict and impartial account of all that they
have done (3) Because the wrath of God will be
shown in the condemnation of the guilty. It will
be a day of awful wailing and alarm when all the
living and the dead shall be arraigned on trial
with reference to their eternal destiny and when
countless hosts of the guilty and impenitent
shall be thrust down to an eternal hell. Who can
describe the amazing terror of the scene? Who can
fancy the horrors of the hosts of the guilty and
the wretched who shall then hear that their doom
is to be fixed forever in a world of unspeakable
woe? The influence of the knowledge of the terror
of the Lord on the mind of the apostle seems to
have been two-fold first, an apprehension of it
as a personal concern, and a desire to escape it,
which led him to constant self-denial and toil
and secondly, a desire to save others from being
overwhelmed in the wrath of that dreadful
day. We persuade men - We endeavor to persuade
them to flee from the wrath to come to be
prepared to stand before the judgment-seat, and
to be suited to enter into heaven. Observe here
the uniqueness of the statement. It is not, we
drive people or we endeavor to alarm people or
we frighten people or we appeal merely to their
fears, but it is, we persuade people, we endeavor
to induce them by all the arts of persuasion and
argument to flee from the wrath to come. The
future judgment, and the scenes of future woe,
are not proper topics for mere declamation. To
declaim constantly on hell-fire and perdition to
appeal merely to the fears of people, is not the
way in which Paul and the Saviour preached the
gospel. The knowledge that there would be a
judgment, and that the wicked would be sent to
hell, was a powerful motive for Paul to endeavor
to persuade people to escape from wrath, and
was a motive for the Saviour to weep over
Jerusalem, and to lament its folly, and its doom
Luk_1941. But they who fill their sermons with
the denunciations of wrath who dwell on the
words hell and damnation, for the purpose of
rhetoric or declamation, to round a period, or
merely to excite alarm and who deal damnation
around the land as if they rejoiced that people
were to be condemned, and in a tone and manner as
if they would be pleased to execute it, have yet
to learn the true nature of the way to win people
to God, and the proper effect of those awful
truths on the mind. The true effect is, to
produce tenderness, deep feeling, and love to
prompt to the language of persuasion and of
tender entreaty to lead people to weep over
dying sinners rather than to denounce them to
pray to God to have mercy on them rather than to
use the language of severity, or to assume tones
as if they would be pleased to execute the awful
wrath of God. But we are made manifest unto God
- The meaning of this is, probably, that God sees
that we are sincere and upright in our aims and
purposes. He is acquainted with our hearts. All
our motives are known to him, and he sees that it
is our aim to promote his glory, and to save the
souls of people. This is probably said to
counteract the charge which might have been
brought against him by some of the disaffected in
Corinth, that he was influenced by improper
motives and aims. To meet this, Paul says, that
God knew that he was endeavoring to save souls,
and that he was actuated by a sincere desire to
rescue them from the impending terrors of the day
of judgment.
