What Does Committing to Christ Really Entail?

From what I understand the election process for Democrats in Iowa is quite the event.  In Iowa they vote by means of the caucus, and, for the Democrats, each person votes by standing in a designated area.  

One area is designated for this candidate and another area is designated for that candidate, and so on.  So, when they vote, they vote with their feet.

Hebrews 10:19-25

Prior to the vote there is a set amount of time where people are allowed to interact.  They give speeches and seek to persuade anyone who has come out to vote for their guy.  Arguments are made and opinions are disputed as people seek to present their case for their candidate.

The Unpardonable Sin

A friend of mine once said that if you are going to lose your salvation, you’ll lose it in Hebrews 6. 

There is no doubt that these 5 verses are the most haunting of all Scripture.  When you read them you can’t help but feel uneasy.  It is talking about someone who commits the unpardonable sin.  There is a bit of finality when it says that once “he falls away it is impossible to restore them to repentance.”

Hebrews 6:4-8
This passage is also one of those passages that is most widely quoted at Calvinists to show that someone can lose their salvation.

Trust the Singular Sacrifice of Christ for Salvation

It has been said that the heart of the human problem is the problem of the human heart.  There is something dysfunctional about man.  Man is by virtue of the fall, a sinner and he is in need of redemption.  

If there is one thing that was respectable about the old Judaism, it was that they recognized this.  Most religions today do not.  By most accounts, most view man as mainly good.  If there is anything wrong with him, it can be corrected with just a little teaching.

Hebrews 10:11-18

Unfortunately, today’s Judaism has been perverted and fallen into the mainstream heresy.  When I was in Israel, I had a chance to talk to some religiously inclined Jews.  We were conversing about the sacrificial system and their attempts to rebuild the temple and reinstitute these temple services.

A Better Sacrifice: There is Power in the Blood

In our study we’ve been constantly moving closer and closer to the Holy of Holies.  You might say that we started in the outer most regions.  We began by talking about how Christ is greater than angels.  Then we talked about how Christ was greater than Moses.  After that we began talking about the Priests.  Last week, we entered into the Tabernacle.  And you might say we opened the veil and were allowed to peer into the innermost sanctuary.  

Hebrews 9:18-28

Well, this morning we continue into the Holy of Holies.  And you might say that we step right up to where the Priest would stand in that room; for today we are looking at Christ as the better sacrifice.
