Good morning people who live in the forgiveness and grace of our loving Heavenly Father.
Hebrews 10:26-27 NIV If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God.
This is a very important and often misunderstood passage of scripture. Some people have read this and it results in fear because they still have moments of struggle where they give into temptation.
It’s important to understand the word deliberately that is used here. It means to sin willfully as opposed to sin committed inconsiderately, and from ignorance or weakness.
If we deliberately keep on sinning is talking about people who know the truth and yet willfully and fully reject it and reject God. This is not talking about people who love God and still have times of struggle and giving into temptation.
Don’t let the enemy lie to you.
If you feel the Holy Spirit prompting you when you sin and you ask Him to forgive you, this Scripture is not talking about you!
Falling is not fatal. There is still grace, mercy and forgiveness available to you in Christ Jesus!
Psalm 37:23-24 NIV The Lord makes firm the steps of the one who delights in him; though he may stumble, he will not fall, for the Lord upholds him with his hand.
Together, let’s refuse to live in condemnation. God’s grace is greater!
