Galatians 2:16 nevertheless knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the Law but through faith in Christ Jesus, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the Law; since by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified.

For if the blood of goats and bulls, and the ashes of a heifer sprinkled on those who are defiled, sanctifies to the purifying of the flesh, To a far greater degree, the blood of Christ, Who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, shall purify your conscience from dead works to serve the living God. — Hebrews 9:13-14 | A Faithful Version (AFV) Holy Bible, A Faithful Version © 2020 A Faithful Version.

We can ignore sound doctrine and choose to live in the futility of our minds which will bring about an unfruitful spiritual life filled with dead works. We can also believe that we are not accountable to anyone for such actions. But one day we will stand before the Lord and be accountable to Him as to why we chose a lesser gospel that didn’t interrupt our lives with truth and in the end brought shame upon the Lord.

Foundational Repentance and Falling Away, Hebrews 6:1-6

Hebrews 6:1-6 has nothing to do with losing our salvation through sinful acts. Instead, it teaches that we must repent from our rebellion and from our own dead works as a way of becoming acceptable to God, by His power, every time we fall into it.

Hebrews 6:1-6 usually gets lost in arguments about whether it is possible for a person to “lose” their “salvation,” and, if so, whether they are ever able to return and regain it. However, the passage never mentions either salvation of the possibility of losing it. Instead, its focus is the central, foundational nature of repentance from seeking God through our own dead works: Therefore leaving…
