NASB | Hebrews 6:6 and then have fallen away, it is impossible to renew them again to repentance, since they again crucify to themselves the Son of God and put Him to open shame. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Hebrews 6:6 and then have fallen away--it is impossible to bring them back again to repentance, since they again nail the Son of God on the cross [for as far as they are concerned, they are treating the death of Christ as if they were not saved by it], and are holding Him up again to public disgrace. |
Bible Question:
If Christians die with un-repented sin, how will they be judged? Vintage68 |
Bible Answer: Hi, Vintage... Repentance does not merit our forgiveness -- it is a gift of grace (Acts 11:18; 2 Timothy 2:25), not something earned (Romans 4:4). Without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness (Hebrews 9:22b; Romans 6:23a; Ephesians 1:7). God will never excuse the guilty (Exodus 34:7). Christ alone is the propitiation -- the atoning sacrifice -- of our sins (Romans 3:25-26; 1 John 4:10) once and for all (1 Peter 3:18; Revelation 1:5).
