“For we know him who said, ‘vengeance is mine, I will repay,’ says the Lord. And again, ‘the Lord will judge his people.’ It s a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.” (Hebrews 10:30-31, NKJV)

This is a fearful warning against those who are tempted to go back to their former beliefs. They are reminded that there is no salvation apart from what Christ has accomplished. Judgment awaits those who reject him. (Heb. 10:26-27)

Even under the old covenant those who are proven guilty of rebellion is sentenced to die. How much worse is the punishment of those who have experienced the grace of God through Christ, yet deliberately reject it (Heb. 10:28-31).

Indeed, “it is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.”
