[5] And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,
[6] If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.
Salvation deals with “sins that are past”
“If they shall fall away”
“If” = conditional
They cannot be “born again,” “sealed with the Holy Spirit,” “Saved,” a second time.
Foundation principles are only laid once.
If we fall away, lose faith, lose hope, get discouraged,
We are to turn around and come back to where we left off.
And to our mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,
“We have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ …”
Leviticus 17:1 KJV
And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,…
Leviticus 17:11 KJV
For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.
