“It is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God.” Hebrews 10:31
When I read or think of this Verse, I usually have the Wicked and Ungodly in mind. Though that is true, the Writer had the Hebrew Christian in view. He exhorts them earlier to come to God for forgiveness, and with confidence; to provoke one another to love and good works; and, to not forsake the assembling of themselves together. He then utters this warning, “if we go on sinning willfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins” followed up with the verse above. As I mentioned in the beginning, this is a Book of Warning, and from Today’s Verse, you can see why.
And how should WE react to this Verse? Well, I prayed the Sinners Prayer when I was 5, and though I don’t really live like I ought, I know I will go to Heaven when I die? NO! If that, or something close to it is true, then you’re missing the whole Point! The proper reaction is “This Serious Stuff!!!” How we live REALLY MATTERS! We have no right to claim Christ as our Savior unless we live as if He is our Lord! May today’s warning be a Major Wake Up Call!!!
