What does Hebrews 10.26 mean?

Question

Does it mean that if we continue to sin after accepting Christ (Truth) we are no longer under his grace but under God's judgement.?

Answer 1

We are under his grace but as Christians we have the law written on our hearts and how can we who are dead to sin continue anymore therein. We reckon our self dead to sin as Christ died on the cross so that man of sin died with him. It is by faith that we are saved as we are still in our sinful bodies in a sinful world and he who endures to the end is truly saved. We are not under law therefore if we do that which we are not in agreement with it is not counted as sin to us. Yet we can not serve two masters. Can we who are dead to sin continue on therein? God forbid. We can not give ourselves over to a sinful lifestyle. Read Romans Chapter 6.

Answer 2

There's a great difference between deliberate sin and unknowingly commiting a wrong. The statement is clear, if we practice sin deliberately after having received the truth about Christ, there's no longer any sacrifice for sins left. We are all imperfect and ofcourse even having received the truth about Christ we are still prone to doing wrong. That is why we need to be on guard so as not to fall into a wrong cause but if we do, we have the privelge of prayer on the basis of Jesus sacrifice and God is sure to look at our sincere requests (psalms51:17;) But this is not an excuse for a wrong life style.

Answer 3

Friend that is a very good question, I have had many ask me that, What it is saying, first we have to find out what is sin, Many thinks sin is cussing, smoking, drinking, & so on, But these things is not sin but the attributes of sin, They are the results of unbelief, Unbelif is disagree with the truth, Once we have come into the truth, & we klnow without a shadow of doubt it is truth, If we sholud go back to are own ways of unbelief, there is no more sacrifice for our sins,, Why, because God gave us that chance & we took it & trample the blood of Jesus under our feet as nothing. So to put it more clearer is Once you KNOW that Truth & walk in it, & then turn back to your unbelief, there is no more blood for our unbelief, Friend there is a difference between of serving God & back-sliding some than there is someone that has truly walk in truth & turn their back on it. Unbelief is the cause of all attributes. If any one has committed this sin, their mind is sealed with a hot iron spiritually speaking, & they will not have a desired to know truth again.

Answer 4

The wilful sin mentioned in Heb 10:26 refers to the sin of not accepting Jesus Christ as Savior. Heb 10:28 deals with the rejection of Moses. In the same vein Heb 10:29 speaks about rejecting Jesus as Savior and the Son of God, rejecting the power of His blood and rejecting the Spirit of grace. Since our salvation is only by grace and not by our works (Ep2:8,9) what we do good or bad will not affect our salvation. If what we do affect our salvation then our salvation is not by grace (Rom 11:6). When we are saved we received God 's righteousness (2 Cor 5:21) by grace. The only thing that happens when we sin is that we do not conform ourselves to God's righteousness. We must believe that we are under grace sin has no dominion over us (Rom 6:14). When we sin we have not avail ourselves of God's grace not lose our salvation.

Answer 5

It meand that if a person learns the truthand gets saved then willfully sins again they loose their salvation this actuall blows huge holes in the once saved always saved doctrine, yes and as you said it means we are then no longer his grace but under God's judgement. It means that those Christians that believe in the once saved always saved theory will be in for a rude awakening. It makes sense, then, to research, the Bible, to make sure that we are on the right path doesn't it.

Answer 6

A brief consideration of Scriptural examples of unforgivable sins and sins that were forgiven should prove enlightening and comforting. From these it will become apparent that it is not so much a matter of what kind of sin it is as it is the motive or heart condition, the degree of negligence and willfulness involved that determines whether it is forgivable or not. These examples show that it is the one who willfully makes a practice of sin after he knows the truth whose sins are unforgivable. Helpful also should be a consideration of what one who has stumbled into sin can do to regain his spiritual equilibrium or balance and joy in Jehovah.However, to secure God’s forgiveness one must comply with his rules by also confessing his sin to those in charge of his congregation and willingly submitting to being punished. That such sins are forgivable is apparent from the words of the apostle Paul regarding such an erring one: “This rebuke given by the majority is sufficient for such a man, so that, on the contrary now, you should kindly forgive and comfort him, that somehow such a man may not be swallowed up by his being overly sad.”—2 Cor. 2:6-8.

Answer 7

Those who carried a contempt for the Mosaic Law are mercilessly damned. Those who have not only rejected the law, but who have also seen and rejected the perfect sacrifice (Jesus) are so much the more damned!

This passage doesn't mean that if you are a sinner, you're damned. It means that if you purposely reject the sacrifice of Jesus you are damned.

We can call this not merely a sin, but a special category of sin "against the Spirit". Basically it's like sin PLUS and it requires both accurate knowledge and malice of forethought.

Don't do it if you don't like burning in eternal torment.

Answer 8

No it means if we continue to deliberately sin. Example Consider that you were a person making a living by selling drugs and you became a Christian then you would have to get another means of support. You could not continue to sell drugs and be under the blood remission of Jesus. You would face the judgement of Almighty God.

Answer 9

I believe that once you are truly saved that God can keep you.. He says that he has "hedged us in" and nothing can pluck us from his hands. and we are never going to be perfect, so We are all still sinners, just "Saved " by the Grace of God".The Bible says IF we sin, we have and Advocate with the Father.
Look at it this way.. ! you and I were born of our parents, and Nothing we do can ever change that, they will always be OUR Fathers and Mothers, It's the same with GOD our FATHER, once we are HIS children he will always Be our Father, I believe this with all my heart.

A person who continues in conduct, thoughts, and words that by their nature deny Christ, reject grace, spurn redemption, and push away the Holy Spirit is certainly flirting with spiritual disaster of the most severe kind. Sin, of course, does all these things, but sin lays us all low - who could stand before Him if He kept a record of our transgressions (Ps.130:3)? Therefore I always try to maintain hope in the cases of those who seem to have pitched the Lord entirely behind their backs and are now acting, talking and thinking like unbelievers. Who knows? Perhaps God will be patient with them in spite of themselves. But for myself and for those of us who are trying to follow Him, I am grateful to have this reason to fear Him whom I love so much, to know that this is no game, that we are responsible before Him for everything, and that there is indeed great benefit in striving to walk in His ways in all things and at all times. He knows the ways of the righteous, but what will become of the wicked (Ps.2; 1Pet.4:17-18)?
