Hebrews 10:26-29 BSB
“26If we deliberately go on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no further sacrifice for sins remains, 27but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume all adversaries. 28Anyone who rejected the law of Moses died without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. 29How much more severely do you think one deserves to be punished who has trampled on the Son of God, profaned the blood of the covenant that sanctified him, and insulted the Spirit of grace?”
If We Deliberately Go On Sinning
Many people brush over this passage of Scripture because they don’t like what it says, or else they will try to explain it away to say something different from what it is saying, because they don’t want to believe what it teaches. But this is taught all throughout the New Testament Scriptures by Jesus and by Paul and by the other New Testament apostles. Different wording, perhaps, but the same message. We can’t just accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior and then immediately dismiss the real reason that he died.
For in Jesus’ death and resurrection he put our sins to death with him and he rose in victory over our sin so that, by faith in him, we will now deny self, die to sin daily, and walk (in conduct, in practice) according to his commands. For the purpose of his death on that cross was not just to forgive us our sins and to give us eternal life with God, but it was to deliver us out from our addiction to sin so we will now follow him in walks of surrender to him, in obedience to his commands, by God’s grace, in the power of God within us.
And yet we have many people today teaching the opposite of this within the gatherings of “the church.” And they are teaching people that all they have to do is to “pray the prayer” to receive Christ, or to say that he is Lord, and to believe in Jesus’ death and bodily resurrection (taught out of context), and now they are saved, done deal, nothing else required. But Jesus taught that to come after him we must deny self, take up our cross daily (die daily to sin and to self), and follow him in obedience to his commands.
Progressive Salvation
But this isn’t only about right after someone receives the gospel message and then they go on sinning. This includes them returning to addictive sin at any time throughout their lives, and if they do not repent, and if they do not return to Christ prior to their death or prior to Christ’s return. For they have chosen their sin over God. And the Scriptures make it quite clear that if sin is what we obey, if it is our habit (addiction) that we keep returning to over again, and not God’s commands, we will not inherit eternal life with God.
And why is this so? Because we are not “once saved always saved” as many would have you believe. For our salvation is a process of salvation which we must continue in to the very end if we want to have eternal life with God. For, as followers of Christ, we are saved (past), we are being saved (present active), and we will be saved (future) when our Lord returns. But all this is dependent on us continuing in the faith, in walks of surrender to the Lord, in obedience to his commands, and no longer as slaves to sin, until the end.
[Matthew 7:21-23; Matthew 24:9-14; Luke 9:23-26; Romans 6:1-23; Romans 8:24; Romans 13:11; 1 Corinthians 1:18; 1 Corinthians 15:1-2; Galatians 5:16-24; Ephesians 4:17-32; Ephesians 5:3-6; 2 Timothy 1:8-9; Hebrews 9:28; Hebrews 10:19-39; 1 Peter 1:5,9; 1 John 3:4-10]
Hebrews 10:30-31 BSB
30For we know Him who said, “Vengeance is Mine; I will repay,” and again, “The Lord will judge His people.” 31It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
So, please take this seriously! This is nothing to trifle with. Don’t listen to those preachers who are telling you that all you have to do is to make a profession of faith in Jesus Christ and now you are good to go for eternity. Read the Scriptures in their appropriate context. If you, although you make a profession of faith in Jesus Christ, are living in deliberate and habitual sin, as a matter of practice, and obedience to God and to his commands is not your practice, you will NOT have eternal life with God. Don’t play around!

Jesus, Son of God,
Died for us on a cross.
Anyone who would come to Him
Must deny himself and follow.
He must take up his cross daily;
Die to sin and self each day.
Father, God above,
Loved us so: gave His Son.
If you want to save your old life;
Keep on sinning, follow your ways,
You will lose your life forever;
Hope of heaven gone away.
Spirit of our God
Gives us life in God’s Son.
Nonetheless, if you die to self;
Forsake your sin; follow Jesus,
You will live with God in heaven,
And forever praise His name!
