What happens if a Christian loses their faith?

Answered in 1 source

A genuine loss of faith reveals that the individual was never truly saved.

The concept of falling away from faith raises serious theological implications. Hebrews 10:26-31 highlights that willful sinning after receiving the knowledge of truth indicates apostasy, which is a rejection of Christ. If someone who claims to be a believer turns away from the gospel, it suggests they were not genuinely part of the body of Christ from the beginning. 1 John 2:19 reinforces this, stating that if they had been truly of us, they would have remained with us. Thus, the doctrine of perseverance asserts that those truly saved will persist in faith and cannot ultimately fall away because they are preserved by Christ.
