Proverbs 14:14 The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways: and a good man shall be satisfied from himself.
Twenty-one examples of beings fallen from grace (continues): [18] Many young widows waxed cold toward Christ and cast off their first faith and were damned (1Tim. 5:11-13). [19] Hymenaeus and Philetus erred from the faith and overthrew the faith of others (2Tim. 2:17-19). [20] Apostates were once saved but fell away and departed from the faith. See Scripture on Romans 1:21-32; Hebrews 6:4-9; 10:26-29 and 2Peter 2:20-22. [21] Many in the congregations were once saved but later threatened with destruction if they did not repent (Rev. 2:5, 10, 16, 20-23; 3:3, 11, 16).
Besides the above examples of being cut off from God because of sin, the Bible abounds with plain laws, commands and warnings of punishment for those who return to sin. These make it clear that there are no unconditional promises and covenants in Scripture. Passages where no conditions are expressed are automatically limited by hundreds of kindred verses stating conditions to be met. It is not always necessary to state the conditions in every passage. When stated in some, it is clear they apply to all companion scriptures.
