希伯来书：6:4-8：4论到那些已经蒙了光照，尝过天恩的滋味，又于圣灵有分，5并尝过神善道的滋味，觉悟来世权能的人，6若是离弃道理，就不能叫他们从新懊悔了。因为他们把神的儿子重钉十字架，明明的羞辱他。7就如一块田地，吃过屡次下的雨水，生长菜蔬，合乎耕种的人用，就从神得福；8若长荆棘和蒺藜，必被废弃，近于咒诅，结局就是焚烧。
对于这封书信的读者而言，这些话很吓人同时也是一个强烈的警告。这使人联想到马可福音3章28-29节耶稣对门徒说的话（28我实在告诉你们：世人一切的罪和一切亵渎的话，都可得赦免；29凡亵渎圣灵的，却永不得赦免，乃要担当永远的罪。”）。这不仅仅是信仰的偏离或是在罪中跌倒。如果这是《希伯来书》的作者所描绘的，那么当彼得在大祭司的院子里不承认耶稣的时候，他恐怕早已没有悔罪的机会了。
一个更好的例子是犹大。他曾经从耶稣口中尝过神善道的滋味。他亲眼看到过神迹。但他选择爱金钱胜过爱耶稣。当他和耶稣以及其他门徒濯足星期四晚上在一起的时候，耶稣甚至做了最后一次努力指明了他内心的企图，希望他能从不信中回转。但他还是出去了，经上说，“撒旦就入了他的心。” 他已经到了无法回头的地步。
这些话以及诸如犹大这样的例子呼唤我们每天都要悔改。不要让任何罪俘获你的心。不要让任何人和任何事比耶稣更重要。祷告吧，耶稣能让你免于陷入罪和不信中。
祷告：亲爱的耶稣，我确实相信你。我乐于宣告我全心全意地爱你。但我也知道，在我的里面，我的罪性中，总有一个不信的人终日和我对抗。请用你的话语喂养我的灵魂。请每一天都坚固我的信心。当我跌倒或动摇的时候，请帮我快快地站起来。我这样祷告是奉你的名。阿们。
Hebrews 6: 4 It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit, 5 who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age 6 and who have fallen away, to be brought back to repentance. To their loss they are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting him to public disgrace. 7 Land that drinks in the rain often falling on it and that produces a crop useful to those for whom it is farmed receives the blessing of God. 8 But land that produces thorns and thistles is worthless and is in danger of being cursed. In the end it will be burned.
These are frightening words and a strong warning for the readers of this letter! They are reminiscent of what Jesus said to his disciples in Mark 3:28-29. This is more than just a drifting away from the faith or a stumbling into sin. If that’s what the writer to the Hebrews is describing, then Peter would not have been able to repent when he denied Jesus in the courtyard of the high priest.
A better example would be Judas. He tasted the goodness of God’s Word from the mouth of Jesus. He saw the miracles. Yet he chose to love money over Jesus. When he was in the upper room with the disciples and Jesus, Jesus even pointed out his intentions in a last ditch effort to bring him back from his unbelief. But he went out, and the Scriptures say that “Satan entered into him.” He had reached the point of no return.
These words and the examples of those like Judas call us to repentance every day. Don’t let any sin capture your heart! Don’t let any person or any thing become more important than Jesus! And pray that Jesus would keep you from falling into sin and unbelief!
Prayer: Dear Jesus, I do believe in you. I would love to say I believe in you with all my heart, but I know that in me, that is in my sinful nature, there is a man of unbelief against whom I struggle daily. Feed my soul with your Word. Strengthen my faith every day. And when I stumble or falter, then restore me quickly! I ask this in your name. Amen.
