what about Christians who refuse to repent and continue In Sin though ?
“For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.”
Hebrews 10:26-27 KJV
it doesn’t seem as though they escaped wrath because they continued serving sin
“For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;”
Romans 1:18 KJV
it seems as if Gods wrath is upon all sin and ungodliness of man and that if we keep serving sin and ungodliness we can’t be saved . But what about grace? Gods grave teaches repentance from sin in order to give salvation from wrath
“For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;
Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.”
Titus 2:11-14 KJV
Repentance is part of it wrath is upon sin and ungodliness we have to part from sin and ungodliness and walk in repentance. But receiving the Holy Spirit guarantees salvstion right ?
“For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.
For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God: But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned.”
Hebrews 6:4-8 KJV
if we don’t bear the fruit of the gospel and keep beating sinful fruits we’re going to be gathered and burned even though he died for our sins he never told us we could keep sinning worry free . He never said if you don’t repent it doesn’t matter your saved .
christians have to believe the warning about repentance so they don’t partake of the wrath upon all sin and ungodliness
it’s a matter of them serving sin or serving God . The church and all the believers in it need to acknowledge the truth not avoid it
we have been offered an inheritance in Christ , our behavior can exclude us from the inheritance and include us in the curse in other words we shouldn’t tell believers that Thier current and future behavior is excused but the church should be warning them about continuing in sin because of this
“This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like:
of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.”
Galatians 5:16, 19-21 KJV
Gods very good and he’s able to save us if we believe what he said if we reject it and refuse to acknowledge the truth about sin and damnation we’re deceiving ourselves and anyone who’s willing to believe us
