The Parable of the Lost Sheep
Matthew 18:10-14
10 "See that you do not look down on one of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father in heaven. 12 "What do you think? If a man owns a hundred sheep, and one of them wanders away, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go to look for the one that wandered off? 13 And if he finds it, I tell you the truth, he is happier about that one sheep than about the ninety-nine that did not wander off. 14 In the same way your Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones should be lost.
The Shepherd (GOD) is so concerned about just one of His sheep wandering off, (straying, 'falling away') that He leaves the 99 sheep who have not strayed and goes searching for the one precious lost one.
Other parables by Jesus are essentially the same; the parable of the lost coin is one.
Revelation 2 even describes a whole congregation that had tolerated a false teacher.(straying) Verse 22: I will make those who commit adultery with her suffer intensely, unless they repent of her ways.
So long as the person is sorrowful and authentically wants to be forgiven, God is faithful and will do so.
Reading your response post brought tears to my eyes because, I feel that I have fallen off the wagon and your kind words have given me hope.
I feel much better inside knowing this. God knows, and I know, that I do not read Gods Bible like I know that I should. Also though, God knows that I try my very best to be a good man every day. To every person I meet.
I have never thought that I have lost faith in God. Sometimes I stray. And Stray big sometimes. It seems that I stray when ‘things are going good in my life’. I guess this is one of those things God talks about in the Bible too.
Thank you again. You have inspired me to get back to reading the Word Of GOD. I'm just a poor simple man.
