I was happily waiting for my next tuition and decided to look into gotquestions.org after discussion about the equip session this week. As the topic is about discipleship, I looked into the salvation topic and stumbled across apostacy.
What is apostacy? According to GotQuestions, apostacy means a rebellion and an abandonment or a breach of faith.
So why is it so dangerous? In GotQuestion, it means that a person will likely be a false teacher or rebel against the church authority if he/she has apostacy. If we go to the parable of the sower, we know that those that are choke by the thorns or suffers because of infertile soil are referring to these people. Even if they announced their faith as Christians, they live as though they have no God hence will be doomed to hell because God and Jesus never knew them.
I feel that today God is talking to me about being a blessing to others and glorify God. Although He is speaking quite loudly (I admit that I am quite laid back recently), God continues to talk to me even though I have done repeated sin. I know I have not been doing that and it is quite frustrating at my side: fighting all those lies; getting angry about not keeping the law; unhappy about not glorifying God enough with my actions (or rather not glorifying God enough with my actions). I feel exceoptionally related to the article when it mentioned Psalm51. How I longed for those joy from salvation! Those joy cannot be compared. It was my happiest moments of life despite the tough terrains that I had to force through.
I had apostacy before and now that I know how serious it is, I pray never to fall back again. I also pray that Christians will not end up that hell-doomed path.
PS: I thank God for all students who had better, improved results. Thank God for answering my prayer. I shall continue to pray for my students to achieve better result, as well as allowing me to shine through my Almighty God and be a blessing to others, while glorifying Him.
