It Is Impossible to Renew a Forgiven Sinner |
12-13-21, Many people in the Christian Church believe ‘once saved always saved’ – yes, and its true! However, by their fruit ye shall know them. [Matthew 7:15–20] If a person knows the Lord Jesus, makes a proclamation of faith; yet deliberately, repeatedly and without remorse disobey the Lord Jesus’ commands – how can they truly be a born again Christian? [John 3:3, 7] Charles Ellicott explains follows: “In Hebrews 6:4-6 ... The connection of thought already explained in Hebrews 6:3; the general meaning seen that the greater part of this long sentence is dependent on the word “renew” in Hebrews 6:6: “It is impossible to renew again unto repentance those who were once enlightened…” This metaphor is introduced again in Hebrews 10:32. The passage is applied generally to all who are addressed, and includes everything that was involved in the reception of the Christian faith. This inclusive application of the term (familiar from prophecy, from our Lord Jesus' own words, from Apostolic usage (see Acts 26:18; Ephesians 1:18; 1 Peter 2:9) throws light on the meaning. As the words stand in the Authorized version [KJV], “enlightened” is but the first term of a series; but it is far more probable that the clauses which follow should be regarded as explanatory of the enlightenment itself: “. . . those who were once enlightened, having ..." | In Hebrews 2:9 see the clear parallelism which exists between these verses and Hebrews 2:3-5 we may infer that the “salvation” offered in the gospel (Hebrews 2:3) is intended by this “gift.” In Hebrews 10:26 For.—The connecting links are the thought of the consequences that such sinful neglect (Hebrews 10:25) may lead, and the awful revelation of judgment which the final day will bring. Described is the state one of willful and continued sin, which is the result and the expression of apostasy from Christ. [God will spew out of His mouth: Revelation 3:14-16] It is not, “If we fall under temptation and commit sin;” but, “If we are sinning willfully.” Not merely the “knowledge” but the “full knowledge” (Romans 1:28) of the truth as they have been “sanctified in the blood of the covenant [Jesus].” (Hebrews 10:29) "For such “there remains no longer a sacrifice for sins:” That offering of Jesus which they deliberately reject, such sin as this, the sin of knowingly and willfully reject the only Sin offering, God has provided in its general significance this passage does not differ from Hebrews 6:4-6 as no other is possible.
