"Of how much sorer punishment, supposed ye, shall be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?" (Hebrews 10:29 KJV)
"The LORD says, "I will rescue those who love me. I will protect those who trust in my name. When they call on me, I will answer; I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue and honor them. I will reward them with a long life and give them my salvation."" (PSALM 91:14-16 NLT)
For your information, this is more about a warning of what not to do, than it is of something that has already been done; if that makes any sense to anyone, who might be paying attention. There are several things listed, at least three, if you are counting; most certainly almost all of us have done at least one, without even realizing just how harmful it was, and the consequences of what we have done.
There is one thing that I have grown to know and believe with all my heart: God is for us and is not against us! His Son is pleading on our behalf! And the Holy Spirit is always waiting to work in us! We must do our part and turn from our wicked ways! This is not just something that is won and done, because the longer we live here on this earth, the more chances we have to mess thing up.
This might sound sad to some, but I truly believe that we, (meaning those who are determined to do what is right,) are safe and secure in the salvation that we have been given; what is the sad thing that we might be overlooking, is those that we neglect and abuse, who might not might not make it! There will be tears in heaven, but only for a little while!
Anywho, this isn't meant to be about judgment, it is about what we must not do; and if we do what we must not do, we must, with all of our heart, cry out to God for forgiveness and mercy! There might be reasons why some of depart earlier than others, but the truth still remains the same: God really loves us!
Grace is what we must hold on to, and don't let go! Because grace is God giving us what we do not deserve...
""The rain and snow come down from heaven and stay on the ground to water the earth. They cause the grain to grow, producing seed for the farmer and bread for the hungry. It is the same with my word. I send it out, and it always produces fruit. It will accomplish all I want it to, and it will prosper everywhere I send it. You will live in joy and peace. The mountains and hills will burst into song, and the trees of the field will clap their hands! Where once there were thorns, cypress trees will grow. Where nettles grew, myrtles will sprout up. These events will bring great honor to the LORD'S name; they will be an everlasting sign of his power and love."" (Isaiah 55:10-13 NLT)
