What are examples of apostasy in the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

Apostasy is illustrated in the Bible through the Israelites, fallen angels, and Sodom and Gomorrah, each demonstrating the consequences of unbelief.

Jude provides three significant examples of apostasy to warn believers. The first is the Israelites, who, after witnessing God's miraculous deliverance from Egypt, failed to believe His promises and fell into unbelief, resulting in their destruction in the wilderness (Jude 5). The second example is the fallen angels who, having rejected their proper place, were cast into chains of darkness for their rebellion (Jude 6). Lastly, Jude references Sodom and Gomorrah, cities that faced God's judgment for their immorality and refusal to acknowledge Him (Jude 7). These examples serve as potent reminders of the seriousness of apostasy and the dire consequences of turning away from the truth of God's Word.
