This is for Christians living in unrepentant sin or sins.
You are at risk of being left behind when the Bridegroom comes. You are still saved, and shall be resurrected after the great tribulation, but you will be weeping & gnashing of teeth when left behind.

Like Esau did in giving away his birth right for a meal
Hebrews 12:14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord: 15 Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled; 16 Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright. 17 For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears. KJV
.
The same applies to the prodigal son who gave up his inheritance for wild living, and although he can never get it back, he is still son. Luke 15:11-32
The loss will be felt & keen & eternal. Those who have gone astray will be damned in becoming vessels unto dishonor in His House. This is why even former believers are called to depart from iniquity ( 2 Timothy 2:18-21 ) so that they may inherit the eternal glory that comes with our salvation per 2 Timothy 2:10-13 which is to be that vessel unto honor in His House.
But if you do not look to Him to trust Him daily as your Good Shepherd to help you lay aside every weight & sin, but keep living as the world does, you will find yourself left behind in weeping & gnashing your teeth.
That is why a miracle has to be performed by God to wipe the tears from their eyes to get passed that loss.
Revelation 7:13 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they? 14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. 15 Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them. 16 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat. 17 For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. KJV
So please call on the Lord Jesus Christ for help before you are overcome & be worse than you were before you were saved when you will not call on Him for help at all but be a slave to sin.
2 Peter 2:18 For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error. 19 While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage. 20 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. 21 For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. 22 But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire. KJV
