What does the Bible say about why some stop following Jesus?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible indicates that some stop following Jesus because they do not truly believe in Him (John 6:64).

According to John 6:64, Jesus knew from the beginning who did not believe, which explains why many disciples turned away from Him. They were offended by His teachings, particularly regarding eating His flesh and drinking His blood, which points to the challenge of accepting the gospel that offends human pride. True faith involves more than emotional or intellectual assent; it requires a heart that has been regenerated by the Holy Spirit to genuinely believe.
