Hebrew 10:26 “If we deliberately go on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no further sacrifice for sins remains”
Before knowing Jesus, I used to often speak lies. Even without reason, I enjoyed telling lies and never felt guilty about it. There were many other sins in my life of which I was unaware. When I encountered Jesus in my life, I was made aware of all my sins and I repented for them one by one. Though I have repented, some of them had still entangled me. Slowly, I got rid of all sins. I praise and thank Holy Spirit for doing wonderful work in my life, who often convicts me whenever I may fall or tempted to sin. Holy Spirit safeguards and protects me always. Even today, whenever I may tend to do wrong, he helps me by convicting me and helping me to correct it.
In John 15:26 Jesus said “I will send you the Helper from the Father.” John 16:8 says when he comes, he will convict the world of its sin, and of God’s righteousness, and of the coming judgment. It’s the Holy Spirit who work in us, help us to repent and overcome sins, and helps us to live a righteous and holy life. We need to be very sensitive to Holy Spirit. We must do what he tells us to do. Eph 4:30 says “do not grieve the Holy Spirit.” If we ignore him continuously, he will be grieved and will leave us.
Our Loving Savior Jesus Christ has paid a tremendous price for our sins and that is why our sins have been easily forgiven. Forgiveness of sins is free for us, but our Lord has paid a big price. If we do not value his love and sacrifice, not living holy life, not allowing Holy Spirit to work in us then we have no hope, there is no further sacrifice for sins remains,
“but a fearful expectation of judgment, and a fury of fire that will consume the adversaries” Hebrew 10:27
Salvation is a very precious gift for us, which gives us eternal life. But even after knowing all truth if we are not concerned about it and live in sin, there is no other way to be saved as no sacrifice remains. Jesus said it is finished. He has finished all his part. Now, it is our part to choose life or death. (Jeremiah 21:8).
Hebrews 2:3 says “How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation”
Dear soldiers, let us examine our lives, repent, allow holy spirit to work in us, be serious about our salvation. If we neglect and live in sin, a fearful judgment is waiting for us. Jesus is only our hope.
Prayer
Dear heavenly father, help us to value the sacrifice of our Lord Jesus and live a holy life, in Jesus name, Amen.
