Apostasy: Hebrews 6 & 10

Do Hebrews 6 and 10 teach that Christians should constantly fear becoming apostates? Jon Moffitt examines two of Scripture’s most sobering warning passages and why they have left many tender consciences questioning their salvation. When properly understood and preached, these warnings should lead true believers toward greater confidence and rest in Christ, not continual anxiety. At the same time, the warnings against apostasy are real and should produce genuine fear in those who meet the biblical criteria. Understanding who these warnings address changes how Christians read some of the most difficult passages in Hebrews.
