“Dear friends, if we deliberately continue sinning after we have received knowledge of the truth, there is no longer any sacrifice that will cover these sins. There is only the terrible expectation of God’s judgment and the raging fire that will consume his enemies.”
We don’t make up what is right, He has shown us the sin that keep us stuck in this life. When we deliberately keep doing what we want because we feel ok with it, there is nothing Jesus can do. It even goes as far as if you think you should do something and do it, it’s a sin. Jesus paid a high price for all to live as citizens of heaven on earth, and then to extend it for eternity, all we do is choose Him and not this world.
Hebrews 10:29 NLT
“Just think how much worse the punishment will be for those who have trampled on the Son of God, and have treated the blood of the covenant, which made us holy, as if it were common and unholy, and have insulted and disdained the Holy Spirit who brings God’s mercy to us.”
When we push our flesh and our desires we trample on what God did for us and feel as long as we appear to be good we are good. Good has never gotten anyone to heaven, understanding we die to self and live for Christ frees us to live fully devoted. We can’t let our selfish desires make us blind to the sacrifice that Jesus made and the Love He showed by doing the Fathers will and not His own.
Hebrews 10:35-36 NLT
“So do not throw away this confident trust in the Lord. Remember the great reward it brings you! Patient endurance is what you need now, so that you will continue to do God’s will. Then you will receive all that he has promised.”
We need to see that Gods will is perfect and we can only do it when we let go of ourselves and follow Him fully. Amen
