BACKSLIDERS

1 John 2:15,17                    Love of the world

Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

Isaiah  44:22                      Sins blotted out

I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions, and, as a cloud, thy sins: return unto me; for I have redeemed thee.

Hosea  14:4                        Loved freely

I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely: for mine anger is turned away from him.

Jeremiah  29:13                  You shall find Christ

And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.
