Terrifying Expectation?

Dear Fellow Travelers,
Yes, there is another “strange doctrine” that Hebrews 10 clears up for us and it is this: If, after receiving the good news of the gospel, you should continue willfully sinning, you can certainly expect to burn in Hell’s furious fire; after all, it is a terrifying thing to fall into the hand of the living God. This is a “strange doctrine” indeed—even heretical!
OK, let us be honest: if this “ strange doctrine” is true, then every last one of us should rush out an purchase a high-tech asbestos suit because we are headed for that furious fire, like a loaded freight train, going downhill without brakes—even worse. Come on guys and gals—fess up! Every time we disobey God (which is often!), we do so willfully! Listen, we need our Savior—all day and every day! Without the benefit of His finished work, working in our behalf, we would be in serious trouble—very serious—but thanks be to God, that benefit is perfect and complete. We, therefore, never again need to live, even for a moment, in the terrifying expectation of God’s wrath—never again!
This is what the author of Hebrews says about this (listen carefully, or you will miss it!): “For if we go on sinning willfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a certain terrifying expectation of judgment, and the fury of a fire which will consume the adversaries. Anyone who has set aside the Law of Moses dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. How much severer punishment do you think he will deserve who has trampled underfoot the Son of God, and has regarded as unclean the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and has insulted the Spirit of grace? For we know Him who said, ‘Vengeance is Mine, I will repay.’ And again, ‘The Lord will judge His people.’ It is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God’ (vss. 26-31).
Now, with that I am going to make a simple comment, encourage you to give it some thought, and continue this tomorrow: The author of Hebrews is simply reminding us that there is but one sacrifice for our sins, and if we reject that sacrifice, there is no other; consequently, in our effort to find one, we will find ourselves living in that terrifying expectation of judgment, and being cast into that furious fire. [NOTE what he did NOT say!]
I will add this: There are many, many church-goers who, because they reject that one Sacrifice, live in that terrifying state 24/7!
