Hebrews 10:26-31 New Century Version (NCV)
Sometimes we know the Truth or God’s will on a matter, but do not really want to accept the Truth because it means we would have to acknowledge our will to sin. In our passage this morning, the Apostle Paul reminds Christ’s followers to continue to allow His sanctifying work to be done in them. When Christ speaks to specific sin in our lives, that sin must go on the cross so we can experience freedom. Otherwise, we grieve the Spirit. A turning away from this holy process the Father put into place for our spiritual growth is called apostasy. We can choose to run the other direction from God, but eventually we will find ourselves back in the audience of His sovereign judgment.
