There is not much we can do for apostates. They are proud and set in their ways. They refuse to repent and get right with God. Our Lord said, “Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch” (Matthew 15:14). 2John 9-10 says, “Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed.” When it comes to those who have been duped by false teachers, we should do our best to win them to Christ. “And of some have compassion, making a difference…” I think of Fanny Crosby's great Gospel song, “Rescue the Perishing.” “Rescue the perishing, care for the dying, snatch them in pity from sin and the grave; Weep o'er the erring one, lift up the fallen, tell them of Jesus, the mighty to save.” God is able to save. Hebrews 7:25 says, “Wherefore He is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by Him.” “To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen” (Jude 25).
