Bible Question: what particular sin is referred to in this passage of scripture. and what exactly is the fiery indignation. |
Bible Answer: Dearest brother!! Grace and peace to you today! To answer your question, i believe that the Life Application Study Bible that i have explains it much better than i can. "When people deliberately reject Christ's offer of salvation, they reject God's most precious gift. They ignore the leading of the Holy Spirit, the one who communicates to us God's saving love. This warning was given to Jewish Christians who were tempted to reject Christ for Judaism, but it applies to anyone who rejects Christ for another religion or, having understood Christ's atoning work, deliberately turns aways from it(mark 3:28-30). The point is that there is no acceptable sacrifice for sin than the death of Christ on the cross. If someone deliberately rejects the sacrifice of Christ clearly after understanding the gospel teaching about it, then there is no way for the person to be saved, because God has not provided any other name under heaven by which we can be saved (acts 4:12)." So, the sin that is being referred to is that of denying Christ, after fully understanding the teachings of the gospel. As to the fiery indignation, it is hell. For if we deny Christ, we are eternally separated from Him, and from Heaven. May the Spirit bless you in mighty ways today! your sister, jenny |
