Once this period of spiritual dryness comes and he does not have committed brothers and sisters to lift him up, to push him or even drag him, he will just fade away and get lost unnoticed. This just proves the fact that man is really a social being. He needs help from his fellowmen for his own personal salvation. Jesus who knows human nature arranged it this way. He organized his fol- lowers into one body - the Mystical Body! As members of one body we belong to each other We should, therefore, support each other. Jesus knows that the weak fallen nature of man tends to be lazy and to cool off. God's word for backsliders is frightening. "When men have fled a polluted world by recognizing the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and then are caught up and overcome in pollution once more, their last condition is worse than their first." 2 Peter 2: 20 "For when men have once been enlightened and have tasted the heavenly gift and become sharers in the Holy Spirit ... and then have fallen away, it is impossible to make them repent again, since they are crucifying the Son of God for themselves and holding him up to contempt." Hebrews 6: 4-6
