Thank you Lord Jesus

The op has explained this very well and even some people have agreed with him by explaining further.

Remember the Israelites were not able to keep the law too, like us. They broke the law multiple times and made God angry with them. And so many died. But then there was a shadow of Christ's sacrifice, a mini kind of sacrifice that was carried out to atone for their sins temporarily that required shedding the blood of a spotless animal. This indicates that sin can only be pardoned through the shedding of blood of an innocent one and not through the works of the law cos no one can keep the law. This sacrifice was done regularly because they were found guilty of sin. Would they have been guilty without the law? no but God imputed sin into them when they broke the law. And as long as they remain under the law they would continue to sin and face the punishment of death but not all died because of the sacrifice of bulls and goats. But they animal sacrifice could not change their hearts or make them stop sinning. If it had worked, then Christ wouldn't have been sacrificed. Hebrews10:1.

But God was not pleased with the continuous sacrifice for sin every year because it could not stop men from sinning. So Christ had to come and die. Shed his blood and be blameless as far as the law is concerned. Not only did Christ death take away the punishment for our sins it also took the power of sin away. And in this sacrifice God was pleased.

So the only way we can wilfully sin is to go back to the law, to look at Christ's sacrifice on the cross and still deem it incapable of ending your lust. To run back to the law to tame your sins which is impossible because the law cannot make you righteous but even more sinful. But in Christ our old man is dead and we are freed from the law and hence sin. So in Christ, you are not guilty of sin but under the law you are guilty.

If you reject the sacrifice that was done once and for all, you would need another sacrifice when you sin and continue to sin under the law but there is no more sacrifice. The only thing remaining is the terrifying punishment that would come for rejecting the perfect sacrifice. Hebrews 10:27.

Romans 8:1-4 ''There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:

4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.''

So as a Christian, if i intentionally commit murder, is that not willful sinning?

Hello Jiggaz, thank you for this post, may God bless you and renew your strenght.

Of course this post has blessed me but there is something i will like to share quick. I converted few months ago and i have had great zeal for God since then, i tried to talk to my friends always about the new light/life i just found.
But lately something happened to me, {i had realised how terrible sexual sins is; spiritually, and i had decide to put it all on hold…i always talked to some friends how teribble sexual sins are}, but notwithstanding i fell into sin of fornication once again (with my ex whom i use to tell about sexual sins after i have converted), after days of fasting and prayers.
Now i know that i cannot escape the consequences of my sins because i known the truth and still act agaist it. I have prayed and cried for forgiveness but there is heaviness in my heart and my mind has been greatly disturbed… i don't feel zealous as i used to feel anymore. I feel asif i have lost something that i have sacrificed and prayed hard for, for days.

Please how do i know if God has forgiven me?(because i know the truth and still failed to keep it)

What advice can you give me? My spirit don't feel the same anymore, what do i do? i fear i have lost courage to talk to people about God; I feel everthing that has happened to me concerning God and His word was a joke and i feel ashamed greatly in my heart; i feel like all my claims that i love/fear God is a joke.

What do i tell my ex? I always try to explain to her how bad our sexual lives were before God, and now we both fall again after everything. We broke up because we need to focus on our salvation. I don't want to be the reason she will doubt God.

Please i'll appreciate your efforts in response sir.

jiggaz:
Good evening my brother... Thank you for your encouragement... Concerning your question, Yes, God has already forgiven you... It's only your mind playing tricks on you... Yes, sexual sin is bad....... That's why Apostle Paul said we should flee from sexual sin... Sin destroys us on this earth if we wallow in it... But the beautiful truth is that a believer in Christ has been delivered from sin and death. We might stumble and fall sometimes but we don't stay there because the holy spirit in us will continue to direct our path to Christ Jesus who is our righteousness.

My brother please don't let guilt and condemnation affect your relationship with God. You're already forgiven of this sin 2000 years ago through the precious blood of Jesus, so approach the throne Of grace boldly because Christ is our High priest in heaven... Also pass this message across to your ex and try to avoid any situation that might make you have sex with her... Nobody is perfect, i am not perfect.. Our Lord Jesus said we will have tribulation in this world but that we should not fear because he has already overcome the world for us... Have peace in the finished work of Christ.... You are saved eternally because of your faith in the finished work of Christ... Remain in peace...

If Salvation is eternal, what does the Bible mean when it said if we “sin wilfully” after that we have received the knowledge of the Truth there is no more sacrifice for our sins?

What does it really mean to “sin willfully” according to Hebrews 10:26?
One of the most beautiful things about the Gospel and the Bible is that there are no contradictions in it. No dark sides at all.

Always when we study the Word and find certain things that seem contradictory to us, it is mostly as a result of lack of clarity, that is, lack of proper understanding of those things on our part.

Such is the case of Hebrews 10:26 which most people turn to when they want to invalidate the eternal nature of the Salvation we have in Christ. However, a closer look at this verse shows us that it is actually in support of Salvation being eternal and not against it.
Let’s see it together from the Word.

(Heb 10:26) For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
(Heb 10:27) But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.

To get what the writer of Hebrews is trying to say in those verses we just read, we will need to study the scriptures surrounding those verses. That would mean studying the entire chapter very well, paying special attention to his audience and his use of words.
From verse 1 down to verse 3, we see that the author was talking to a set of people, his Jewish brothers, who were already conversant with the Old Testament. That is the Law of Moses and the writings of the prophets. They did not only “know” the Law, they also strictly practised it.

They were in the church, participated in every activity of the church including her sufferings and persecutions. But they were still strong followers of Moses. We would see this clearer as we proceed.
From verse 4 to 15, the author now begins to state clearly that the purpose of the coming and the sacrifice of Jesus was to take care of all kinds of sins once and for all, since the Law with it’s numerous sacrifices and priests was not able to do this.

A look at from verse 15 to 18 reveals that for those who have had their hearts and minds written with the laws of God (those who are born again), sins and iniquities are not remembered (counted) against them.
The reason their sins are no longer remembered or counted against them is not because they no longer do anything wrong. The reason is what the writer had already explained from verse 3 to 15 which is because the sacrifice of Jesus had already taken care of their sins, once and for all.

Please pay real attention to this part. From verse 19, we see how the author’s tone changed. He switched from just explaining things to them to calling them to take an action.

What was the action? Having used the previous verses and chapters to explain the sacrife and priesthood of Jesus, he then invites them to boldly “enter,” “draw near” by faith and enjoy the benefits of that sacrifice from where they are to inspire and produce good works, and have true fellowship with one another.

What if they refuse to accept all these that Jesus had done for them? The author then in verse 26 now tells them the repercussion of that refusal. He tells them that if they “sin wilfully” after that they had received the knowledge of the Truth, then there is no other sacrifice to atone for their sins.

That is, if after they had received the knowledge of the Truth which is to hear the Gospel of what Jesus had done for them, and by their own will rejects or refuses to believe that Gospel they just heard. Then they will have to bear God’s wrath against sin by themselves.

Them receiving the knowledge of the Truth there does not mean they have accepted or believed the Gospel before and maybe later rejected it. No! It simply means they are no longer ignorant of the Gospel because someone had preached it to them. The willful sin they did after that was that after they were aware of it, they didn’t believe it, rejecting it completely of their own will.

The author then went on from verse 28 to explain that in the Old times, whoever rejected the Mosaic laws after he has known about it was severely punished as long as two or three persons testified against him. How much more punishment will whoever refuses to accept the sacrifice of Jesus receive of God at the end of the world.

Having told them of this fate that awaits those who refused to believe the Gospel, he then reminded them how they have suffered together with the church since they have always been among them for long and receiving the same persecutions those who believed in Jesus received.

He then encouraged them to do the will of God in verse 36 so that they can receive the promise of God. What was this God’s will he wanted them to do?
It was simply to believe in Jesus and His sacrifice for humanity. This is consistent in all the scriptures.
(Joh 6:28) The people asked Jesus, "What does God want us to do?"

(Joh 6:29) Jesus answered, "The work God wants you to do is this: to believe in the one he sent."

In verse 38, the author again reminds them that it is only those who are justified by Faith that shall live eternally. But if any man after hearing the Gospel, draws back from accepting it, then such a fellow shall not be pleasing to God, having drawn back of his own will to perdition.

So from the message of this entire chapter, we understand clearly that to “sin wilfully” after that we have received the knowledge of the Truth, simply means to reject the sacrifice of Jesus by refusing to believe the Gospel.

It doesn’t mean that if a Christian commits a sin intentionally then there is no more hope for him since all men still sin even after they are born again. And there is no such a thing as “accidental sin.” Every sin has to do with our wills or else it is o longer sin.

Hebrews 10:26-29 is simply an explanation of the fate that is coming to all men who “sin wilfully” by rejecting or refusing to believe the Gospel after it has been preached to them.

We (Christians) have believed in Jesus’ eternal sacrifice for us and are saved forever from the coming wrath of God or indignation against sin.
I hope this blesses you.
Glory to God!

An2elect2:
No, willful sinning is going back to the law hence being charged for sin. But in Christ the law is no more hence you are not charged for sin for all is paid through Christ's death. If we are in the spirit sin would no longer be a habit and even if we sin, we would be chastised for it not cut off because God cannot charge 2 people for same sin. If we are punished again then Christ's death is not effectual. But God forbid.

jiggaz:
Thank you my brother...... You even have time to reply all these Pharisees that want the law yet can't keep all of them fully ... One leg on mount Sinai and another leg on mount Zion.... I have put all of them on ignore mode, i don't even see their comments and their opinion are all irrelevant. It doesn't matter at all.... I thank God that this Gospel of Grace has reached the four corners of the world and still reaching more people... I am soo happy how far the real Gospel have gone. All glory to Our Lord Jesus.

An2elect2:
You can't stop sinning no matter how hard you try, you can't keep the law no matter how hard you try(Can't you hear the law? you break one you break all). The law was given to expose your sins. If there was no constitution/law in Nigeria, then no one would be convicted of crime. Thieves would steal, rapists would rape, murderers would murder but they would still be free because there is no law that says what they do is wrong. And you can't sentence anyone except he has been tried. The only way to make culprits pay for their crimes is to establish the rule of law.

In the same vain, before the time of moses sin was in the world but it was not imputed or recorded or charged to the sinners' account until the law came. When the law was established through Moses, sin was then imputed. The sinner was then charged and made guilty. ''And I was once alive apart from the Law; but when the commandment came, sin became alive, and I died.'' Romans 7:9 So without the law, the sinner is alive and free but when the law came the sinner is made guilty of sin and punished. And the punishment for sin is death.

Even though the law is righteous and holy the same way our constitution is good, the law cannot make you righteous, the law only makes you guilty of sin. While you can manage to keep all the laws of your country, you can't keep the law of God. To keep the law of God, you must never ever sin, even once. You must never break any law. If you sin for once in your lifetime, you are guilty of breaking the law and you would be punished through death. Who can say they have never sinned? Do you now see how foolish it is to try to attain righteousness through the law? It is not possible to be righteous by the law. You would sin because you have the sinful nature from Adam.

So who was able to keep the law without ever sinning? Jesus Christ. So when we are brought into Christ, Christ's obedience becomes ours.

But we can't be married to Christ and to the law at the same time. We can only be married to one. So you have to divorce one. To either divorce the law and marry Christ or divorce Christ and marry the law. You can't marry Christ and then go back to the law like the foolish Galatians. Its witchcraft. So you stick to Christ or the law. And how are we married to Christ (and divorced from the law)? It is through the death of Jesus Christ on the cross. Over 2 thousand years ago, God put us(the sinners by divine providence), our whole sins(all our sins were future sins as at that time) in Christ. So when Christ died, we died too (to the law and to sin). He was punished for all our sins so God cannot punish us for our sins anymore because He has already punished Christ for all of them. If God should punish us for the sins He punished Christ for then He would not be just. But God is just. So how do you live above sin and bear fruits to God? It is through the resurrection of Christ from the dead. For without this resurrection then the power to live above sin would not be given. But Christ's resurrection signified that we are now alive in Christ and new creatures divorced from the law and married to Christ. We died in Christ and also rose with him. The law is put away, the power of sin is crushed, the last enemy is death. ''For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man.'' 1Corinth 15:21

''Therefore, my brethren, you also have become dead to the law through the body of Christ, that you may be married to another—to Him who was raised from the dead, that we should bear fruit to God.'' Romans 4:7

So now we live not by the works of the law but by the faith of Christ, faith in the finished work of Christ on the cross. It is in this cross work of Jesus that God has placed the power of salvation, Romans 1:6. Even after we are saved, it is still through faith in the cross work of Christ that we grow, Galatians 3. We can't grow through the works of the law, that would only frustrate the grace of God. God's power is effectual to cause us to do good. If you don't have Christ, you won't have this power and you would always seek your own righteousness. Your naturally deceitful heart would deceive you into trusting your works.

Romans 5:12-21''Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin,and in this way death came to all people, because all sinned—

13 To be sure, sin was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not charged against anyone’s account where there is no law. 14 Nevertheless, death reigned from the time of Adam to the time of Moses, even over those who did not sin by breaking a command, as did Adam, who is a pattern of the one to come.

15 But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one man, how much more did God’s grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, overflow to the many! 16 Nor can the gift of God be compared with the result of one man’s sin: The judgment followed one sin and brought condemnation, but the gift followed many trespasses and brought justification. 17 For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive God’s abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ!

18 Consequently, just as one trespass resulted in condemnation for all people, so also one righteous act resulted in justification and life for all people. 19 For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous.

20 The law was brought in so that the trespass might increase. But where sin increased, grace increased all the more, 21 so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.''Romans5:12-21

Romans 6:1-2

What then shall we say? Shall we continue in sin so that grace may abound. God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?

Please can you also explain this portion of the bible?

Colossians 3:5-10 (Amplified).

5 So put to death and deprive of power the evil longings of your earthly body [with its sensual, self-centered instincts] immorality, impurity, sinful passion, evil desire, and greed, which is [a kind of] idolatry [because it replaces your devotion to God]. 6 Because of these [sinful] things the [divine] wrath of God is coming [a]on the sons of disobedience [those who fail to listen and who routinely and obstinately disregard God’s precepts], 7 and in these [sinful things] you also once walked, when you were habitually living in them [without the knowledge of Christ]. 8 But now rid yourselves [completely] of all these things: anger, rage, malice, slander, and obscene (abusive, filthy, vulgar) language from your mouth. 9 Do not lie to one another, for you have stripped off the old self with its evil practices, 10 and have put on the new [spiritual] self who is being continually renewed in true knowledge in the image of Him who created the new self

Then finally,

1 John 2:1

2 My little children (believers, dear ones), I am writing you these things so that you will not sin and violate God’s law. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate [who will intercede for us] with the Father: Jesus Christ the righteous [the upright, the just One, who conforms to the Father’s will in every way—purpose, thought, and action].

Thanks for your answers, I really appreciate them.
