2 Warnings from Hebrews 4 The Progression of the Warnings (Heb. 10:26-31): Neglecting God’s Word A Hardened Heart of Unbelief Stagnant Faith Wilful Sinning The 7 mortal sins in RCC: (i) pride; (ii) greed; (iii) lust; (iv) anger; (v) gluttony; (vi) envy and (vii) sloth.

3 Westminster Shorter Catechism
4 Sin is any want of conformity unto, or transgression of, the Law of God. Transgression: doing what God does not want us to do. Lack of conformity: not doing what God wants us to do. Psalm 19: Secret sins (v.12) – sins of ignorance. Presumptuous sins (v.13) – sins of the deliberate intent of the heart.

4 Gravity of Wilful Sinning
4 Context: The Old Testament sacrifices. The Law was merely a shadow of things to come. The OT sacrifices are inadequate to bring a finality of the forgiveness of sins.

The Unpardonable Sin (Matt. 12:31-32): The Neighbours: They labelled Jesus a madman (Mark 3:21). The Religious Leaders: They labelled Jesus as having the devil (Mark 3:22) even though they knew that Jesus was empowered by God (John 3:2). Testimony of Paul: A blasphemer turned preacher (1Tim. 1:12-14).

7 The Unpardonable Sin 4 Believers: They would not commit the unpardonable sin as our salvation is secured in the hands of Christ (John 10:28; 1John 5:18). Unbelievers: Having been enlightened in the truth but choose to turn around and call God the devil (1John 5:16).
