Every person who knows the truth and practices it is free and will one day meet with Jesus Christ in the new Jerusalem. If you have already agreed to follow the Lord, then do not sin deliberately, since the Bible itself tells us that there is no more sacrifice for sins for those who know the truth and do not practice it.
Knowing the truth is not merely an intellectual exercise; it is a spiritual responsibility. When a person comes to understand the will of God through His Word, that knowledge calls for obedience and transformation. The gospel does not only invite us to believe, but also to walk in holiness, perseverance, and faithfulness. Therefore, the Christian life demands consistency between what we profess and how we live each day.
Everyone who sins willfully will have his reward and will be punished. What is willful sin? It is knowing that something is wrong and doing it, regardless of the consequences. This kind of sin is not committed out of ignorance or weakness, but from a hardened heart that resists correction. It reflects a deliberate decision to place personal desire above the will of God, even after having received clear instruction from Scripture.
That is why we will see this warning from the author of the book of Hebrews below:
For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
Hebrews 10:26
This verse carries a strong and sobering message. It reminds us that Christ’s sacrifice is sufficient and perfect, but it is not to be treated lightly. When a believer knowingly rejects the truth and persists in deliberate sin, he shows contempt for the grace that was offered to him through the cross. Such an attitude leads to spiritual ruin because it rejects the very means by which salvation was made possible.
We must know that this act brings with it countless consequences. Sin is never isolated; it affects our spiritual life, our relationship with God, and even those around us. Willful sin dulls the conscience, weakens faith, and opens the door to deeper rebellion. Over time, the heart becomes insensitive to the voice of the Holy Spirit, making repentance more difficult.
We are talking about the sin that will cover your life and bring strong damage, and you will be harshly punished. For the one who sins in this way, there is no more sacrifice for sins. What does this mean? It means that outside of Christ there is no other offering, no alternative path, and no substitute for redemption. Rejecting His sacrifice leaves the soul exposed to judgment.
But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
Hebrews 10:27
These words describe the seriousness of turning away from God after having known Him. Judgment is not presented as something trivial or symbolic, but as a real consequence for those who persist in rebellion. God is love, but He is also just, and His justice will prevail against unrepentant sin. This should not lead us to despair, but to reverent fear and sincere repentance.
Friend, dear brother, let us approach the Lord and discard everything that urges us to do these things. Let us examine our hearts daily and seek the strength that comes from prayer and the Word. God is faithful to forgive when we humble ourselves and turn away from sin, but He also calls us to live lives that reflect His holiness.
Let us set aside our lives only for God, because the wrath of God will consume all who do evil. At the same time, let us remember that His mercy is still available to those who repent sincerely. Today is the time to walk in obedience, to value the sacrifice of Christ, and to live according to the truth we have received, so that we may finish our race faithful and pleasing before Him.
