What does the Bible teach about apostasy?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible warns about a falling away from the truth, indicating that some who profess faith will ultimately reject it.

Biblical teaching on apostasy warns of a significant falling away from the truth, especially within the church. In 2 Thessalonians 2:3, the Apostle Paul mentions that the day of the Lord will not come until there is a rebellion or apostasy. This refers to those who once professed faith but depart from the truth of the gospel. The danger is particularly prevalent when false doctrines infiltrate the church, evidenced by the warnings in Matthew 13:33 about leaven spreading through the meal. Believers are encouraged to remain steadfast in the true gospel of grace to avoid being led astray by deceptive teachings from within the church and external influences.
