Fearful looking for of judgment

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.


So are we all doomed? Some people will take this verse- plucking it out of the Bible as if it stands all on it's own and tell you that you are damned, we are all damned and there isn't anything anyone can do about it because we are sinners. If not blatant thieves, adulterers, liars, murderers- then sinners in thoughts, in coveting, in white-lying, in jealousy, if putting "things" before God. It doesn't take all that much to sin, it's rather easy to do. Because we are carnal- because we are flesh- we've inherited sin from the womb.


Rom 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned


Rom 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God


Sinning is easy- all have sinned. Sin entered the world and the result of sin was death and we all have the ability to die.


We will all die and we will all have a fearful looking for of judgment, and fiery indignation if we do not have the knowledge of truth- understanding the truth that Jesus alone can save us. If we wilfully choose to keep our Savior out of our lives hoping to save ourselves we are doomed. The truth is Jesus died for us. Once we realize this if we choose to believe there is salvation in any other there is no hope.


Only in our Savior- Jesus, only in Him and the Sacrifice He made can we hope to escape the judgment leading to the fiery indignation.


If after you come to the knowledge of truth you reject that knowledge there is no hope.


Those who do reject the knowledge of truth will be judged and they will have NO advocate to plead their case. They will have NO Savior. They will have NOTHING to lay claim to and say they are forgiven. They will stand before the judgment seat, they will stand as the books of judgment are opened and they will be told they rejected the knowledge of truth after they received it - and I imagine they even can be shown exactly when, where, and how they rejected the knowledge of truth. Once shown how they rejected their only hope for salvation through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior and His righteousness, His forgiveness, His love, they will then be shown all the sin in their lives - sin that they committed willfully, sin that proves they are lovers of sin, lovers of self more than lovers of God. Sin that will prove they don't belong in a sinless world.


2Ti 3:2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
2Ti 3:3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
2Ti 3:4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
2Ti 3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.


There is hope on in one place and one place only- there is only eternal death without that hope.


Jesus Christ our Lord, our Savior- our High Priest, our Sacrifice, our Redeemer - He alone is truth.


We cannot reject the truth, we cannot reject our only hope, we cannot reject our Savior and believe there is still hope left- all that is left is despair and fearfulness.


By the grace of our Savior may we ever hold fast to Him as the truth having knowledge of salvation in Him, let us never reject our hope, our only hope, let us never turn from the truth. May God forgive us, show us mercy, us sinners. May God look to His Son's righteousness and not at our sins as we have been born again in Christ, accepting Him as our Savior- our only hope.


Amen
