If we give up and turn our backs on all we’ve learned, all we’ve been given, all the truth we now know, we repudiate Christ’s sacrifice and are left on our own to face the Judgment—and a mighty fierce judgment it will be! If the penalty for breaking the law of Moses is physical death, what do you think will happen if you turn on God’s Son, spit on the sacrifice that made you whole, and insult this most gracious Spirit? This is no light matter. God has warned us that he’ll hold us to account and make us pay. He was quite explicit: “Vengeance is mine, and I won’t overlook a thing” and “God will judge his people.” Nobody’s getting by with anything, believe me.
Hebrews 10:30-31 MSG
URGENT CALL TO REPENTANCE: All the ends of the world shall remember and turn to the Lord. And all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before Thee. For the Kingdom is the Lord’s and He rules among the nations. (Psalm 22:27-28)

Very true. But not even if forgiveness is asked for again?
Thank you, Reverend.
Linda, I believe that God will forgive anything, when asked truly with a repentant heart ... except the one thing which leads to death. (See 1 John 5:16-17)
I believe the only sin which God the Father cannot forgive is the utter rejection of Jesus' sacrifice for our salvation. If a person rejects Jesus & His message, then how could God forgive that person? It's the acceptance of Him which leads to salvation, in the first place.
Thank you for the clarification, Reverend. That makes perfect sense.
