BACKSLIDDEN, REPENT

2 PETER 2:21-22  21 For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. 22 But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.

PROVERBS 26:11  As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly

HEBREWS 6:4-6  4 … those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, 5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, 6 If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.

REVELATION 2:4-7  4 Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. 5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; … 7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; …

MATTHEW 24:12  And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
