NASB | Hebrews 10:29 How much severer punishment do you think he will deserve who has trampled under foot the Son of God, and has regarded as unclean the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and has insulted the Spirit of grace? |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Hebrews 10:29 How much greater punishment do you think he will deserve who has rejected and trampled under foot the Son of God, and has considered unclean and common the blood of the covenant that sanctified him, and has insulted the Spirit of grace [who imparts the unmerited favor and blessing of God]? [Ex 24:8] |
Subject: Who is guilty as charged? |
Bible Note: New Creature - there are many who will also agree with your position, for a time, I too was living under fear of punishment for the sin I recognized in my life - all that it did was to rob me of the joy of my salvation (my complete and total forgiveness in Christ) and kept me focused on MY performance (rather than what God in CHrist is doing through me 1 Cor 2:10). Remembering that Jesus died for ALL, changes the way that I respond to those who mistreat me - their sins as well as mine were paid for, how dare I harbor ill-will toward them!? (And yet, at times I still do . . . does this mean that I "trample" what Christ has done for me - of course not, for I have accepted/received His gift and He will not take it back. I am secure in His hand.) Consider Felix in Acts 24: 22-27. He knew the Gospel message, he was even frightened by the result of its rejection - judgement - yet did he receive it? Are there not many folks today who listen politely to the gospel, they may even regularly attend our churches, Bible Studies, sing in the choir, etc and go about their lives in an orderly and moral manner . . . yet they see no need for anything more; they think they have done it all right, and yet their hearts are uncircumcized; they know all about Grace, but have never recieved it. Hence they live under a performance based order that is indeed and "insult" to the work of the Holy Spirit. I'm not trying to change your mind, just showing you how God changed me.
