Intentional Sin

  ²⁶For if we go on sinning willfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, 

  ²⁷but a terrifying expectation of judgment and THE FURY OF A FIRE WHICH WILL CONSUME THE ADVERSARIES.

Hebrews 10:26-27

This chapter talked about how the offerings and sacrifices in the OT could never save anyone.  The Lamb of God, Jesus the Christ is the only one who can provide salvation.  This verse follows up by saying that salvation is a wonderful gift but abusing it by making a mockery of this precious sacrifice will bring upon a mighty wrath from God.

I think about my life and how I carry myself as a follower of the Way.  Do I sin intentionally just because I know God's gift has been provided?  Do I sin to fake a servant's heart (to allow God's glory to shine through a situation)?  I think about the last couple sins I'm aware of and it's either selfishness or insecurities; but I don't think it's because I have a free ticket because of God's grace.  I'm a fallen creature and I know I will always struggle with my temptations but I pray that I'm always convicted of my transgressions and never comfortable.

Father God, in all Your wonderful glory You care with live and discipline.  Please capture my heart as I meet You at our meeting place to serve and obey as David and Abraham did.  I pray for my mind, heart and spirit to be restless as I go off the blessed path You paved.  In the wonderfule name if Christ Jesus I pray, Amen!
