Bible Note: Dear bubbatate, I do beleive that the sacrifice Jesus made upon the Cross was sufficient to cover every and all sin. I would refer you to Hebrews 9:15--"For this reason He is the mediator of a new covenant, so that, since a death has taken place for the redemption of the transgressions that were committed under the first covenant, those who have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance." In other words, any sin which would have required death under the old(Mosaic) covenant, Jesus paid for with His life(Romans 3:25). As for the passage in Hebrews 10:26-31.... vv26-27--EVERY sin we commit is done willfully. We don't sin by accident, agreed? What is being referred to here is continual, ongoing sin. Even if we profess to accept Christ as our Saviour, we must show it in the things we do and the way we live(James 2:17-19), and put away the old man(Ephesians 4:22). v28, vv30-31--self-explanatory. v29--I truly believe this speaks to those who have heard the Gospel, but still want to live under the old Mosaic Law. They have heard of the sacrifice Jesus made on our behalf, yet "count the blood of the covenant that sanctified Him an unholy thing". They still want to seek their own righteousness through the Law, thus "insulting the Spirit of grace." He is exalted, the King is exalted on High!! 2nd Samuel 22 |
