If we give up and turn our backs on all we’ve learned, all we’ve been given, all the truth we now know, we repudiate Christ’s sacrifice and are left on our own to face the Judgment—and a mighty fierce judgment it will be! If the penalty for breaking the law of Moses is physical death, what do you think will happen if you turn on God’s Son, spit on the sacrifice that made you whole, and insult this most gracious Spirit? This is no light matter. God has warned us that he’ll hold us to account and make us pay. He was quite explicit: “Vengeance is mine, and I won’t overlook a thing” and “God will judge his people.” Nobody’s getting by with anything, believe me.

O Israel, trust and take refuge in the Lord! [Be confident in Him, cling to Him, rely on His word!] He is their help and their shield.O house of Aaron, trust in the Lord; He is their help and their shield.You who [reverently] fear the Lord, trust in Lord ; He is their help and their shield.The Lord has been mindful of us; He will bless, He will bless the house of Israel; He will bless the house of Aaron.He will bless those who fear and worship the Lord [with awe-inspired reverence and submissive wonder], Both the small and the great.May the Lord give you [great] increase, You and your children.May you be blessed of the Lord, Who made heaven and earth. –

“Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
