There is no possible way someone who truly understands the gospel and receives it in his heart will turn from it. They know the value in and of it. They know the power of God to save.
"The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in the field, which a man found and hid again; and from joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field. (Matthew 13:44, NASB)
They know there is no other way of salvation. They understand Who holds them. To Whom else will they go? Those who walk away from such a treasure could never have possibly had faith in the value that is revealed from God. They know the truth, they’ve heard it, they don’t see and trust and hope in it’s value.
7 Therefore, just as the Holy Spirit says, "TODAY IF YOU HEAR HIS VOICE,
8 DO NOT HARDEN YOUR HEARTS AS WHEN THEY PROVOKED ME, AS IN THE DAY OF TRIAL IN THE WILDERNESS,
9 WHERE YOUR FATHERS TRIED Me BY TESTING Me, AND SAW MY WORKS FOR FORTY YEARS.
10 "THEREFORE I WAS ANGRY WITH THIS GENERATION, AND SAID, 'THEY ALWAYS GO ASTRAY IN THEIR HEART, AND THEY DID NOT KNOW MY WAYS';
11 AS I SWORE IN MY WRATH, 'THEY SHALL NOT ENTER MY REST.'" (Hebrews 3:7, NASB)
67 So Jesus said to the twelve, "You do not want to go away also, do you?"
68 Simon Peter answered Him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have words of eternal life.
69 We have believed and have come to know that You are the Holy One of God." (John 6:67, NASB)
If Jesus and the Father have hold of you, if the Spirit seals you, how is it possible to walk away on your own? You cannot! Do you have more power than God? Believe God. Believing what He has said is faith.
Believe this to be true.
28 and I give eternal life to them, and they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand.
29 My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand. (John 10:28, NASB)
