So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
— Romans 10:17 (KJV)
Apostasy is an uncomfortable yet serious matter to consider, and the writer of Hebrews makes it abundantly clear that it is impossible for those that have tasted the heavenly gift and have fallen away to be restored. Listener, are you one that have only tasted the heavenly gift without having bringeth forth herbs? May we not be one that beareth thorns and briers!
