Jesus. The Way, the Truth, and the Life.
If Hebrews 10:26 dooms to hell all who sin willfully then I don’t stand a chance of making it to heaven.
Sinning on purpose. Knowing that something is wrong and doing it anyway. That’s willful sin. Is Hebrews 10:26 saying that if we sin on purpose we’re going to hell? I hope not. Because if it is, I have no hope.
Hebrews 10:26 sounds scary. Can Christians really lose their salvation?
26 For if we go on sinning deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,
27 but a fearful expectation of judgment, and a fury of fire that will consume the adversaries.
