26. For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,Hebrews 10:26; KJV. Hebrews 10 continues the author's argument that Christ's once-and-for-all sacrifice is superior to the repeated Old Testament sacrifices. It explains that believers are sanctified by the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once and for all, and that by that one offering, He has perfected for all time those being sanctified. The Holy Spirit testifies of the new covenant, where God's law is written on the hearts and sins are remembered no more. Believers are to draw near to God with a sincere heart, full assurance of faith, and clean conscience, to hold fast to the hope promised, and to encourage one another in love and good works, not neglecting to meet together. The author warns those who sin after knowing the truth, leaving no further sacrifice for sin, and states that God's judgment is certain for those who reject His work. The chapter concludes with the assurance that the Lord is our helper and that those who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength, with the promise that He who promises is faithful to fulfill His promises. Regarding today's verse, I looked it up in John Gill's and Matthew Henry's commentaries of the Bible. All sin is willful, otherwise we would not do it, and as it gave me much concern, looking on my past, I saw no hope. But this sin is explained as a person who received Christ, was baptized, reads the Bible, and saw God's work manifested, then turned their back on Christ and His salvation, also rejecting the Holy Spirit and His work of daily transforming us into the image of Christ. These are those who will never return to Christ, and since there is no other Savior, there is nothing waiting for them but destruction. Practical application for believers is to be obedient to God, rest in Christ's salvation, trust that God does not change and keeps every promise, and encourage and fellowship with other believers. Lessons learned: Christ's sacrifice is complete, nothing else can be added, we can stand before the Almighty because we are secure in Christ, our hope is anchored in Christ, and God's judgment is real, for all who reject Him. The Christian life is a journey of endurance, not a one-time event; it is necessary to know God's Word, for how can you know what God wants to do for you if you do not read it for yourself? Amen.
