Hebrews 10: 26
"For if we sin willfully after that we have received
the knowledge of the truth there remaineth
no more sacrifice for sins,"
We live in a day when the Church is under attack and will be under attack again. But the greatest peril is from the possible evil living and apostasy of its members. A Church in such circumstances can not afford to have members who are a bad advertisement for the Christian faith. Its members must be loyal or nothing. The greatest handicap the Church has is the unsatisfactory lives of professing Christians.
The greater the knowledge, the greater the sin. My Friend, the sin that Paul is speaking of here is this. After receiving the knowledge of Jesus Christ, and the way of Salvation, and then renounce the gospel, and the way of salvation, and the words of eternal life, after they have professed the Christian religion; The sin is a total and final apostasy!
Sin is the insult to the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit speaks within us, telling us what is right and wrong, seeking to check us when we are on the way to sin and to spur us on when we are drifting into a state of inactivity, and apathy. To disregard these voices is to insult the Spirit and to grieve the heart of God.
All through this, one thing stands out. Sin is not disobedience to an impersonal law; it is the wrecking of a personal relationship and the wounding of the heart of the God whose name is Father!
