Text: Hebrews 6:4-8

---

As we come to this part of the book of Hebrews we need to put on our "spiritual hard hats".  Many theologians skip over this part of Hebrews because of it's difficulty . In looking at this section we need to remember the context in which the writer was speaking and it is within the context of talking to Christian Believers.

1) Some hold to the idea that the people described in these verses are Christians who actually lose their salvation.

* If God saved you then you can't lose your salvation because it depends on God.  If you saved yourself then you can lose it because it depends on you.

2) Dangers of a Man Centered Theology.

a) Leads to frustration and fear.
b) Can and does produce a legalistic faith.
c) Hinders spiritual growth.
d) Elliminates the joy of serving the Lord.
e) Takes the "good news" out of the gospel

3) A look at John 10: 1-30

a) He calls his own sheep by name.
b) He gives eternal life (vs. 28).
c) No one can take them away (vs. 29) .
