HEBREWS 6:4
"It is impossible to bring back to repentance those who were ONCE ENLIGHTENED, those who have experienced the good things of heaven and shared in the Holy Spirit, who have tasted the goodness of the Word of God and the power of the age to come, and who turn away from God."
Did you accept the Lord into your heart, and do you believe God? Have you repented of your sins? Do you now know and understand about eternal salvation and the heavenly kingdom to come? Have you had hands laid on you and prayer given to have the Holy Spirit enter your life?Have you tasted how good Jesus Christ is and do you understand the power of His Word? In other words, have you been once enlightened?
What will happen to you if you fall away and deviate from the faith, God and His Word? What is the result of your turning away from allegiance to the Lord?
It is impossible to restore and bring a person who turns away from God back unto repentance! The reason is that the person is nailing upon the cross afresh the Son of God. They are holding Jesus in contempt, shame and public disgrace. Once you have been enlightened you are under a duty to hold on to your faith until the very end of this earthly life, and until the end of time! You are under a sentence of an eternal judgement and your eternal Resurrection is at stake. Those who are God's children will be saved and live eternally in Heaven with the Lord. Those who have turned away from God after being once enlightened will be separated from God and in eternal darkness forever. They have made the choice and they have condemned themselves. God is Just! Keep your eyes upon Jesus and never turn away from Him. Where could you go, after being ONCE ENLIGHTENED?
