God bless!
Has anyone ever done something to offend you but after talking to that person you realized it was a mistake and the offense wasn't done on purpose? When something is done in this fashion it tends to be easier to forgive and forget since we realize the intent was not malicious or deliberate. Now let's look at the flip side to that, what about when it is done on purpose and maliciously? Is it easy to get over? Of course not! I would venture on saying this type of offense is the type that makes irreparable damage to relationships. With all of that said the verse today talks about how we acquire knowledge of the Truth and our actions after we do acquire this knowledge. Though many are sold on the concept of an "everlasting pass" to Grace the word is clear when it states that many will come before His presence and He will say "I never knew you". Do we really want to test the extent of Grace knowing we are doing wrong in certain areas of our life? Why speed up at a yellow light in life if we can wait and redirect to a clearer, safer path? I'm not sure about you but eternity is not something that I want to gamble with. Today let’s review our actions and let's set our course straight, will Grace run out? No. The important thing is that we don't run out on Grace.
Pastor Joell A. Perez
For if we go on deliberately and willingly sinning after once acquiring the knowledge of the Truth, there is no longer any sacrifice left to atone for [our] sins [no further offering to which to look forward]. (Hebrews 10:26 AMP)
