Quotable

Some believers suffer needless anxiety that they have committed the willful sin of Hebrews:10:26-27 [26] For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, [27] But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
See All.... They reason that since their will is involved when they do sin, therefore they are guilty of the willful sin and are doomed to the judgment and fiery indignation that will devour God’s adversaries. But that is simply not true. It is essential for us to realize that there is a difference between acts of sin and the willful sin of Hebrews 10. The willful sin is apostasy. It is defined in v. 29 as trampling underfoot the Son of God, counting the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified a common thing, and insulting the Spirit of grace. No true believer can ever be guilty of that! The very fact that  a person worries that he has committed this sin is an indication that he has not. Those who apostatize from the Christian faith are so hardened and arrogant that they never give it a second thought. They have no fear of God or of His punishment.
