Apostatizing
“Holding fast, and having a good conscience; which some having put away concerning the faith have made shipwreck.” (1st Timothy 1:19)
I believe, that the reason of so many persons making shipwreck of their confession of faith, and apostatizing from their profession of it, is, because they had no other bond to hold them to it but the bondage of the law; nor any other rule to walk by but the commandments. Had the bond of everlasting love got hold of them, and Paul’s gospel rule of eternal life been given them, I believe it would have been otherwise.
