The Sin Unto Death
“Jesus continued, "For one to commit 'a sin unto death,' he would need to have all five of these experiences:
1.Be enlightened (or convicted) to see his lost state, and to know that there is no way for him to be saved except through Jesus Christ.
2.Taste of the Heavenly Gift, which is Jesus.
3.Become a partaker of the Holy Spirit or be filled with the Holy Spirit.
4.Grow enough out of the babyhood stage to have tasted the good Word of God.
5.Have the powers of the world to come—the gifts of the Spirit—operating in his life.
"This woman had all these qualifications," Jesus said. "And my Word says it is impossible '... 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'" (Heb. 6:6).
I asked the Lord, "What sin is this, then?"
The Lord referred me to the following Scripture:
HEBREWS 10:26-29
26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
28 He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:
29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?
‘The Lord said to me, "The sin that this Scripture speaks about is that of the believer who turns his back upon Me. Notice the words in this Scripture, 'He that despised Moses' law died without mercy ... Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God.
"Because of great persecution, the Hebrew Christians referred to in this passage were tempted to go back to Judaism, but if they went back, they would have trodden under foot the Son of God. They would have counted the blood of the covenant an unholy thing, for they would be saying that Jesus is not the Messiah; He is not the Son of God. They turned their backs on Me. This is why Paul warned them that if they did that, it would be impossible to renew them unto repentance."
