Re: Sinning Willfully
"If a man unwittingly broke Moses' law, he was forgiven; but if he
willfully despised it, he died without mercy. What then can be expected
by those who sin willfully, not against the iron obligations of Sinai,
but against the gracious words which distill from the lips of the dying
Saviour! The heart that can turn from the love and blood-shedding of
Calvary, and ignore them, and trample them ruthlessly under foot, is so
hard, so hopeless, so defiant of the Holy Spirit as to expose itself to
the gravest displeasure of God, and can expect no further offering for
its sins. There is no sacrifice for the atonement of the sin of
rejecting Calvary."
--F.B. Meyer:
"For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the
truth, there remains no more sacrifice for sins, but a certain fearful
looking for judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the
adversaries. He who despised Moses' law died without mercy on [the
word of] two or three witnesses. Of how much worse punishment, do you
suppose, will be thought worthy [to receive] punishment, the [one] who
has trampled the Son of God, and who has counted the blood of the
covenant with which he was sanctified an unholy thing, and has insulted
the Spirit of grace? For we know Him who has said, "Vengeance
[belongs] to Me, I will repay, says [the] Lord." And again, "The Lord
shall judge His people." '' [It is] a fearful thing to fall into the
hands of the living God. (Heb10:26-31)
