MAY FAIL - Luke 23:32 I have prayed for thee that thy faith fail not.
SHIPWRECKED - 1 Tim. 1:19 - "holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck."
DEPART FROM - 1 Tim. 4:1 - "Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils."
DENY IT - 1 Tim. 5:1 - "But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel."
CAST OFF - 1 Tim. 5:11-12 "but the younger widows refuse; for when they have begun to wax wanton against Christ, they will marry; having damnation, because they have cast off their first faith. (Can anyone having damnation be saved?)
ERR CONCERNING - 1 Tim. 6:20-21 "O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called; which some professing have erred concerning the faith". (see also James 5:19-20)
MAY BE OVERTHROWN - 2 Tim. 2:16-18 "But shun profane and vain babblings, for they will increase unto more ungodliness, and their word will eat as doth a canker; of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus; who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.
If these things happen to our faith, by what will a man then live? For we walk by faith, not by sight (2 Cor. 5:7). If these things happen to our faith by what shall we be saved?
