23.What is a human being doing when he or she receives Christ and then turns back into the world?

He is trampling under foot the Son of God.

He is esteeming the blood of the covenant, by which he was made holy, as being unclean.

He is insulting the Spirit of grace.

Those who have received Christ are required to press forward to the full possession of all that God has given under the new covenant.

The penalty for neglecting to keep on moving toward the land of promise is severe, dreadful punishment.

How different the concept of pressing forward is from the current people-pleasing "gospel" of our day!
