Deliverance from the penalty of sin

Hebrews 6:1-6 • Do these verses prove that salvation can be lost?

Hebrews 6:1-6 are among some of the most frightening verses in scripture

There is perhaps no passage of scripture more troubling for Christians than Hebrews 6:1-6. Can a Christian lose his salvation? A straight forward reading of Hebrews 6:1-6 seems to suggest that, yes, a Christian can indeed forfeit his salvation; that, yes, salvation is not an iron-clad certainty. But that interpretation conflicts with other passages of scripture that suggest quite the contrary. WhatÕs the answer? The point I will be making here is that Hebrews 6:1-6 does not address the issue of salvation at all; but it nonetheless underscores a very sobering truth - a truth much needed among a generation of Christians apparently addicted to Òeasy believism,Ó and Ògreasy grace.Ó
