THE FALLING AWAY Many profess Jesus and come to the faith, but they fall away from grace, away from the faith. They were with Jesus for a few years, and then you don't see them anymore as they fall away. That's why, my friends, we have to be serious about keeping vigilant and watchful against the enemy, for he comes to snatch away our faith, to hinder our progress so we don't reach maturity. People need not heed Satan and listen to him, but the problem is a lot of people do fall to the things Satan brings into their life and they fall away. That's why Jesus talked about the seed that landed on the footpath. They hear the truth and they accept it with joy, but then Satan comes along and snatches out the seed. They endure a little while, but soon persecution comes along and trials for the faith, and they fall away.
