1 | Reconciling Rom 8:39 with Heb 10:26 | Rom 8:39 | Huron | 116398 | ||
I'm having a hard time reconciling Romans 8:39 with Hebrews 10:26. I'm thinking that one solution is that while it may be possible to walk away from the Lord, nothing external of that relationship can cause us to lose the love God has for us. Also, are the "love of God" and salvation necessarily the same thing? It's also possible that I'm not reading Hebrews 10:26 correctly. This "receiving the knowledge of the truth", is that knowledge about Christ, or is it the born again believer? Thanks for any insight you can give this puzzled believer. Huron |

Huron Here is a commentary that might help you think through this. However I don't remember the source of this commentary. "there is a definite DIFFERENCE between the "LOVE" of God as mentioned in Rom. 8:38,39 and the "LIFE" of God, according to Scripture! This is easily proven by noting that UNSAVED people are LOVED by God, even though they are devoid of His LIFE! A clear case in point is the rich, young ruler who was certainly UNSAVED, yet LOVED by Jesus (Mk.10:21)! It must be further noted that this same unsaved man, like all unsaved people, are separated from the LIFE of God," (Eph. 4:18) but, again, not separated from His LOVE! Since one only has salvation when he has the LIFE of God, Rom. 8:38,39 does NOT assure an unconditional salvation on the basis of God's infinite love!" |

I kicked this topic around a little more yesteday and concluded that maybe this apparent dilemna won't be solved this side of eternity. Reading 2 Pet 2:20, Hebrews 6:4 and Luke 8:13 also seem to support the possibility of leaving Christ. On the other hand John 10:28,29 could be construed to support the other viewpoint. To sum up, I've come to the conclusion that: A) we could leave Christ if we chose to and B)short of leaving Christ, our sin won't separate us from his family. Huron |

Huron; I agree with you that an act of sin won't separate us from His love or His family. However I do believe that unconfessed sin does separate us from felllowship. In order to be restored to fellowship, we need to confess any known sin, and allow the blood of Jesus to be the cleansing agent that washes away the stain of sin. 1 John 1:6,7,9 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

I'm comfortable with that. I think that it is a reasonable position when you look at the verses mentioned along with Luke 8:13, John 10:28,29. Where exactly the line is, I guess only God knows for sure. The best we can do is to look at all the related scriptures,say that God will never forsake us, but on the other hand we must be careful to not fall away. Huron |
