Restoration of fellowship
Introduction: 1 Cor 10:12 states that the person who thinks he is standing should be careful so he does not fall. Our standing in God is not uncertain, especially as the Lord had said that it is His good pleasure to give us (His children) the Kingdom (Luke 12:32). In Phil 2:12, we are enjoined to ‘work out your own salvation with fear and trembling’, suggesting that we have a role to play in keeping ourselves within the intended status God provided for us. Falling away is possible, and can be devastating. This study aims at arming us with tools that make for restoration to the Lord should we discover our waywardness.
