What does the Bible say about spiritual decay in the church?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible warns against spiritual decay, as seen in Revelation 3:1-6, where the church in Sardis is admonished for having a name of life while being dead.

In Revelation 3:1-6, the church at Sardis is a vivid example of spiritual decay. Despite having the appearance of life and activity, they were spiritually dead. Christ calls them to be watchful and strengthen the remaining aspects of their faith, reminding them of their former vitality. The warning serves as a powerful reminder that spiritual decay can lead to total apostasy and eternal ruin, indicating that the church must actively pursue faithfulness to Christ to avert decline.
