YOU ASKED FOR IT: Belief in Action

Backsliding is turning away from God. To keep us from this we can return to God’s Word, build ourselves up in faith, extend grace, and trust God to work.

1. Remember God’s Word daily.

But, dear friends, remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ foretold.18 They said to you, “In the last times there will be scoffers who will follow their own ungodly desires.” Vv. 17-18

Vv.19-20

V. 21

The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise... 2 Peter 3:9

Be merciful to those who doubt; Vv. 22-23

To him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present

you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy—25 to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and

authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now

and forevermore! Amen. Vv. 24-25

I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely. Hosea 14:4
