Does Hebrews 10:26 mean I am going to hell?

Hebrews was written to Jews not to Christians - he is telling them, Jews, if you sin deliberately, under Torah alone you have no hope, God is just.

This language was preaching to the choir to Jews then and today (Orthodox anyway).

Jesus is his message, the antidote to sin, the price has been paid if we accept Him!

So no, I would not worry. The Kingdom of God is built by sinners.

In its context it’s a warning and a call to perseverance as a Christian to Christians who were tempted to give up and give in. I’d say it a should lead us to repentance and not resisting but allowing the Holy Spirit to change us and sanctify us.

Repentance is about saying you’re sorry to God for your sins but it’s also about changing your mind about sin (I.e I once thought that was good and now I think and know it’s bad). The question then is if you think it’s bad, why would you do it? Now there are sins we know are bad and yet still struggle with.

Even Paul struggled with knowing something was wrong but doing it. He shares his struggle in Romans 7.

As Christians we need to persevere with trying to live a godly life. We need to repent of sin knowing it’s dealt with at the cross (Romans 5:20), keep trying to put sin to death (Colossians 3:5) and keep wrestling like Paul with it knowing that if we stick with Jesus we will one day be free of sin.

I snowballed into sinning willfully many times and calling God “evil” in my anger towards Him. I only have a fearful expectation of judgment. If you’re taking your salvation seriously, you won’t have a problem with “willfully” continuing to sin .I only hope the best for you. For me, I’m just an object of destruction, yo (Romans 9). I guess (more like “I know”) that I’m just not a person that he predestined to receive eternal life. My willful sin is extremely severe, I am in for an unimaginably severe punishment. Literally unimaginable. I’ve had a dream before about such a harsh punishment (I prayed for the gift of prophecy when I was walking in the truth and righteous, and I received it, I would have dreams of the future everyday) and I don’t even think that punishment was half of what it can be. Let me tell you, it was a pain where you think to yourself that you cannot possibly imagine how you can stand it after a few seconds can let alone eternity. It hasn’t even hit me yet, like I can’t believe in my own reality. I believe that I’ll kill myself one day. You can’t imagine the stress that I’m under.
