Hello:
43"When the unclean spirit has gone out of a person, it passes through waterless places seeking rest, but finds none. 44Then it says, 'I will return to my house from which I came.' And when it comes, it finds the house empty, swept, and put in order. 45Then it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they enter and dwell there, and the last state of that person is worse than the first. So also will it be with this evil generation."
I feel that this passage is telling us that if a person tries to give up their life of sin, but they do nothing to replace their old, evil ways, they are bound to fail and will go back to their old ways, plus add some other bad habits. For example, if a person gives up watching porn but does not take up reading the bible, then eventually, they will just go back to watching porn and will, in fact, add other bad habits (i.e.: prostitution, abuse of drugs, etc.) to it.
The Bible tells us in James 2:14-17 that faith is not enough. If it is not nourished, if the field the seed of faith is planted in is not worked and if it is left alone, then that faith will die and the field will soon be overgrown with weeds. Faith is like a muscle. It has to be exercised or it will become weak.
