Hebrews 10:26-27
If a person keeps on sinning after they have received the love of the Truth with belief upon Messiah Yahshua then that person has not truly converted but just went into the water [immersed] a "dry sinner" and came out as a "wet sinner."
We all make mistakes at times. We REPENT [obedience to YHWH'S Laws], get back up, and start over. We do not keep on sinning, quenching the Ruach Hakodesh/Holy Spirit, who has been given to us until the day of Redemption.
Because of His dwelling presence in our lives, we have the power to overcome sin, or the temptation to sin. The question is; are we allowing Him to work in our lives or are we allowing our carnal desires to take over?
📜 Romans 8:8 “So then those who are living the life in the flesh [catering to the appetites and impulses of their carnal nature] cannot please or satisfy Elohim, or be acceptable to Him."
📜 Romans 8:10 “But if Messiah lives in you, your natural body is dead by reason of sin and guilt; the Ruach/Spirit is alive because of the righteousness that He imputes in you."
📜 Romans 8:13 "For if you live according to the dictates of the flesh, you will surely die. But if by the Spirit, you put to death the deeds of the body, you shall live."
📜 Romans 8:14 "For as many as are led by the Spirit of Elohim, these are sons of Elohim."
Inclusive of all of this, YHWH has given us a command to be set-apart/holy as He is set-apart/holy.
Without set-apartness, no man will see the Master, so we must stop making excuses for sin.
"Dear children, do not let anyone lead you astray. He who does what is right is righteous, just as He is righteous.
He who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning.
No one who is born of Elohim will continue to sin, because His seed remains in him; he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born of Elohim." 1 John 3:6-9
There is a "mark" of distinction between the children of YHWH and the children of the devil.
Bemiḏbar (Numbers) 15:30-31 TS2009
But the being who does whatever defiantly, whether he is native or a stranger, he reviles יהוה, and that being shall be cut off from among his people.
Because he has despised the word of יהוה, and has broken His command, that being shall certainly be cut off, his crookedness is upon him.’ ”
Being defiant is showing a bold refusal to obey authority or resist challenges; proud and unyielding in the face of opposition; rebellious.
These are the characteristics of someone whose heart is hardened and refuses to submit to the Father’s ways. There is no forgiveness for the unrepentant sinner. There will come a time when the Ruach Hakodesh/Holy Spirit will withdraw from such a person [Psalm 51:11; 1 Samuel 16:14; Ezekiel 10:18-19].
Repent while there is still little time left.
~ Shalom
