We have previously brought out the realities of Christ’s two-part Atonement application (Matthew 28:19-20 that answers to its two teachings). Firstly, that of the wondrous welcome into the Holiest Place, and that through the one-time event of justifying faith in the uniting of faith with truth; confessing the need and receiving the gift of eternal life; (Luke 1:77) for which there is no further offering necessary. This assurance of debt paid is the act of the justifying Judge, Who after reviewing the charges brought against me finds me, the accused sinner, not guilty before the Law. The Atonement Blood of Christ satisfied the demands of the Law, in that what Christ did was imputed to my account. I reckon the Divine law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set me free from the penalty of the law of sin and death. I am dead to them because my Substitute died to satisfy them. I reckon myself dead to them, for I have been crucified with Christ, and in newness of life, in a newly made way, alive unto Christ.

And the second part of the Atonement being the ongoing necessity of the sanctifying faith application, (1st Thessalonians 5:23… “And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.”) that of enlivened conscience directing unto minding the things of the Spirit/spirit through the renewed mind to Christ’s Words. Being unto fruitful and loving obedience, with confessions of ongoing shortcomings and sins in Heaven at the throne of grace. And that for granting mercy and grace in order to hold fast the shield of faith and not fling it away in patience lost, to finish the race, to battle, to overcome the flesh, to attain unto His promises and incomparable reward in the coming kingdom of Christ.

And this great two-part Atonement is offered to the Blood-sprinkled and sealed Believer as an expression of loving obedience by the Son of God to the Father. And in the presentation and realization of this great Atonement, is the intent of full salvation for the recipient. There is an ongoing loving response by us expected by the Father as seen in previous verses.

The Holy Spirit then turns and leads us immediately to the 4th great warning of the Book of Hebrews VERSES 26-31, that of the Father’s severe judgment response that should be anticipated as a fearful prospect to the sealed child of God in Jesus Christ (not for the babe in Christ). The prospect for harsh punishment awaits those more mature believers who were thoroughly enlightened and with intimate knowledge, who then willfully and willingly (as opposed to willfully and unwillingly) commits awful adversarial type sin. For God has just indignation for this type of person’s willfully committed sins, who is thereby guilty of critically abusing His Son’s ultimate selfless sacrificial offering. This severe warning is directed and warranted against the vacillating Hebrew Christians (and all other Christians down through time) that they might continually be fearfully alert and that they may steer clear of those destructive rocky shallows that threaten to sink their boat.

Here in the Book of Hebrews is Scriptural example of willful apostasy of once zealous and faithful Christians, but in the face of long standing persecution are now wavering. This is the same warning warranted for the end-time believer waxing into like coldness due to wavering wholeheartedness because of ever increasing iniquity. (Matthew 24:9-12…“Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.”) The same warning extending to those critically appraising the goodness of the Father in the complacent Church of these end times. (Revelation 3:16… “So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.”) This warning is an amplification in intensity of the same warning of Hebrews 6:1-8, as it is a warning presented from the deeply offended Father’s viewpoint....
