Backsliding - Thompson Chain Reference -

Hello, these are verses that have to deal with us as human beings and our backsliding ways.

As human beings naturally our flesh /` hates anything that has to do with God or faith.
However the spirit once being reborn / enjoys and is encouraged by hearing about God, and Faith ~ Which produces fruit with-in the believers life ~ The Flesh can kill this new born fruit when it the flesh starts to get stronger over the spirit and quenches the spirit.

(The flesh and spirit fight ~ Your choice is what you to let your flesh reign, or let the spirit of Christ reign with-in. (Galatians 5:17; Galatians 2:20)).

This something as believer and for the Love of God never desire to lose hope, and faith or trust in the Lord Jesus Christ~ PLEASE KEEP HANGING ON TO HIM, and the PROMISES OF GOD.

Here are the scriptures;
