The falling away first!
No one can help with falling! Everyone is striving and striding to hold on. Even when times are tough they keep holding on guarding themselves not to fall. Also there is no one who fell and put the blame on themselves! Every fallen believer has got something or someone to blame. Rather, grace for repentance is available for those who blame themselves after falling. Even the second coming of Jesus Christ is highly marked by the falling away of many. Believers are easily unsettled and deceived by those prophecies, letters and teachings that the second coming of Christ has occurred or will occur in certain dates. Nevertheless, "No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father" (Mat 24:36). As other signs have already occurred, the greater sign that we must be aware of is the falling away first, when preachers start divert the Gospel into human traditions! The fallen are nailing Jesus Christ to the cross once again and holding him up to public shame (Hebrews 6:6). When those whom we esteem and follow start to sell the Gospel truth for a lie. Be aware!
[ Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; ]
(2 Thessalonians 2:3)
