The Backslider – Part 7

Twenty-one examples of beings fallen from grace (continues): [7] Many Israelites. Before their sin in Exodus 32:1-35 they were born again (Deut. 32:18; Gal. 4:28-29), redeemed (Ex. 15:13; Deut. 21:8), sanctified (Ex. 31:13; Lev. 20:8), converted (Ps. 19:7), in grace (Ex. 33:12-17; Ps. 84:11), had their names in the book of life (Ex. 32:32-33; Ps. 69:25-29), had the same gospel we have (Gal. 3:6-14; Heb. 4:2), and had other spiritual experiences. When they sinned, they were cut off from God and were lost (Ex. 32:32-33; 2Cor. 10:1-18; Heb. 2:14; Jude 1:5). Scores of times, they forsook God and were cursed (Deut. 17:3; 29:26; Jdg. 2:11-23; 3:5-14; 4:1; 5:31; 6:1; 8:28-35; 10:6-11:33; 12:7-13:1; 20:13; 1Sam. 2:12-36; 3:11-14; 1Kin. 11:1-13, 38-39; 12:25-33; 13:33-34; 14:16-31; 15:29; 16:2; 2Kin. 17:7-23; etc.). [8] Nadab and Abihu, holy priests of God (Ex. 19:6; 22:31), were cut off in sin (Lev. 10:1-20; Num. 3:4). [9] Korah, Dathan, Abiram, and other holy men of God were cut off by sin and went to She’owl – hell (Num. 16:1-3, 23-33).
