"…if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries." (Hebrews 10:26-27)
"What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
I should think that would depend on what one is receiving. Status, a standing, for example, can be given without one even knowing it happened. Grace can be given without the recipient being aware of it.One cannot receive, what one doesn’t believe...
You realize this verse is referring to apostasy, right?
Our words are powerful spiritual weapons.
God changed Abram (meaning high exalted father) to Abraham (meaning father of a multitude of nations) Gen 17:5. He did it by inserting the 5TH letter of the Hebrew alphabet H ("Hei") & the symbol for the number 5 = (Grace)
God changed Sarai (meaning my princess) to Sarah (mother of nations) Gen 17:15. He added "H" (Hei = Grace)
After 15 years of silence by God, while Abraham himself tried to make a seed for God. He became too old he GAVE UP.
One yr after God changes thier names, Sarah is with child
Why? Their SPEACH confessions were changed. Every time they or anyone else SPOKE their NAMES. They declared: Abraham Father of a multitude of nations or Sarah mother of nations! SPOKEN words are SEEDS!
Jericho an unconquerable, walled city. Walls 11 feet high, 14 feet wide. The top a smooth stone slope, angling upward at 35 degrees for 35 feet. Its walls were thought to be impenetrable
Joshua 6:2 & 16 says, God had given the city of Jericho to them before they even began to march around its walls
God gives Joshua a two step plan to conquer. Have the people to march "silently" around Jericho for 6 days, & then on the 7th day, to blow trumpets & SHOUT.
On day 7, Before they blow & shout. Joshua Declares via the SPOKEN word: The Lord has this day given you this city. They blow & SHOUT & the walls tumble down
Why " march silently"? So, no complaining/negative WORDS/SPEACH couldn't get in the way
Luke 1:11 & 13 An angel comes to Zacharias & Elisabeth. Telling they will give birth to John the Baptist. Verse 18 Zacharias SPEAKS WORDS of doubt. The angel causes Zac to become dumb until the child born.
Why? To keep Zach's negative WORDS of UNBELIEF from getting in the way!
Proverbs 18:21 Death and life are in the power of the "tongue": and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
If our words aren't powerful seeds. How can they carry LIFE & DEATH? We will LIVE & DIE by what we SAY/SPEAK/BELIEVE!.
We all eat the fruits of our speech. What's on the menu today?
