Question 7
Are there Bible examples of people turning from their salvation?
Bible
John 6:70-71
"Have I not chosen 12? And one of you is a devil."
1 Samuel 15:11
"I regret that I have set up Saul as king, for he has turned back from following Me and has not performed My commandments."
Answer
Judas was one of Jesus’ 12 apostles. He walked with Jesus, worked with Jesus and even did miracles in the name of Jesus, but he turned out to be a devil when he decided to turn away from Jesus and betray Him. King Saul was also filled with God’s Spirit, but the Bible tells us “The Spirit of the Lord departed from Saul” (1 Sam 16:14) when he turned back from following God.
In John 6:66 the Bible says many of Jesus' disciples turned away and stopped following Him.
