1 | Who is guilty as charged? | Heb 10:29 | mbooker | 95002 | ||
At this point, I am lead to vv 26-28. For if we go on deliberately and willingly sinning after once acquiring the knowledge of the Truth, there is no longer any sacrifice left to atone for [our] sins [no further offering to which to look forward]. [There is nothing left for us then] but a kind of awful and fearful prospect and expectation of divine judgment and the fury of burning wrath and indignation which will consume those who put themselves in opposition [to God]. Any person who has violated and [thus] rejected and set at naught the Law of Moses is put to death without pity or mercy on the evidence of two or three witnesses. The WHO who 1. Continues to deliberately and willingly sin (v26) 2. Rejects Christ (v28) My reasoning for #2 is that the writer of Hebrews was comparing the old covenant with the new, the sacrifice of bulls and goats with Christ. In v28, the writer makes reference to those who rejected the Law of Moses (old covenant) being put to death. Likewise, those who reject the Law of Christ (new covenant), there by rejecting Christ himself, remain in death and have not been passed from death unto life (1 John 3:14). That's the answer I believe the Holy Spirit leads me too. |

Greetings and thanks for your reponse! Isn't deliberate and willful sin (rejection of Christ's atonement for our sin) uncomprehensible? Each of us knows that we are "deficient" in some way, we know in the core of our being that we don't measure up . . . now let's place what we know about ourselves in the Light of God's Holiness - woe is me! Throughout Scripture we see the record of God's response toward unbelief - indeed it is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the Living God! And all that wrath against sin was poured out upon and satisfied by the death of Jesus. Now, did Jesus die for the "godly" or the ungodly"? Romans 5:8 tells me that while I was a sinner, an enemy of God, Jesus died for me, the ungodly. So, when I am offered the forgiveness and righteousness that come to me by faith, how could I persist in unbelief (deliberate and willingly sin)? How glad I am that I didn't, and yet the sad reminder of this verse is that there are those who do - they reject the Truth, not only about themselves, but about the free gift of grace - the Supreme love of God . . . ddemonstrated ONCE for ALL - no wonder Jesus said, "It is finished!"
