Question: If you are a Christian and you sin intentionally, will you be forgiven by God if you ask Him? If yes, can you please explain the quotation in Hebrews 10:26 to me? Immanuel (Ghana)

Okay, first, I will read to you what you have in Hebrews 10:26 then answer your question. Hebrews 10:26 "For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, Vs 27 “But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries, Vs 28 “He that despised Moses’ law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: Vs 29 “Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath, now You see, a lot of times when we take the word of God out of context, we miss the whole thing.

If we were to stop in that verse 26 you lose the whole truth, let me read thee 26 that you were talking about, i want to read it again for you and you see why you will miss it without reading further as I chose to do. Vs 26 says “For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,

That’s true he’s telling you that there is no more sacrifice for sins, now he is not saying that you will not be forgiven, but he is telling you that there is no more sacrifice for sins now, was the reason he explains to you then, you get to know what kind of sinning he’s dealing with here. So let’s read again from verse 27 “But a certain fearful looking for of judgement and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. Vs 28 “He that despised Moses’ law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: Vs 29 “Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden underfoot 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? This is what he’s saying this person has done.

Which means, acting defiantly, defiantly, you know the word of God and not only do you chose to do what is wrong but you also reject the counsel of the Lord. You despise the Lord himself. See Vs 29 “Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden underfoot the son of God, so is not just that someone knew that something was wrong and did it, no that’s not what is talking about otherwise, you are not tempted. If you don’t know something is wrong, and you do it, you probably weren’t even tempted, but you see a bonafide temptation means that you were lured to do something which you know is wrong and you go ahead and do it. But you will always, a real child of God will have sorrow for sin. You will always want to repent of it but this person does not repent, he trend underfoot the son of God, he doesn’t repent, and he rejects his lordship, that’s what he is talking about. So, he is letting you know that there is no other sacrifice, because you are rejecting the sacrifice that has been made. He’s telling you which other sacrifice are you going to get if you trend underfoot the son of God? If you reject the son of God. So hay! Where are you going to go? That’s what he is saying. So, he is not dealing with someone who told a lie knowingly and then he says oh Lord I am sorry. This kind of person does not accept the Lord, he rejects him and Paul tells you here, if you reject him you don’t have an option that’s what he is saying. So, the first part of the question is “If you are a Christian and you sin intentionally, will you be forgiven by God? Yes, now first of all you have to understand that sinning intentionally has two things.

The first part of it is the intention to sin itself, that intention before the sin committed, the very intention to sin itself is a sin. So, the sin started with the intention to sin which is forgivable, then the wrong itself which is also forgivable, what is not forgivable here is the rejection of the son of God, like he says that kind of sin, he says how are you going to get the forgiveness the very sacrifice has been condemned by you. So where are you going to get the forgiveness from? so that’s the argument that Paul is giving to us, so if you sin willfully or unwillfully you can be forgiven depending on weather your acceptance of the son of God as your Lord and savior is still part of your Faith.

Do you still trust him for that savage, if you reject him? Hebrews 10:29 “tread underfoot the Son of God, and count the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing… you have no option, that’s what he is telling you, there is no other way, there is no other blood for your forgiveness.
