Commentary on the Bible (1832)

For if we sin wilfully - If we deliberately, for fear of persecution or from any other motive, renounce the profession of the Gospel and the Author of that Gospel, after having received the knowledge of the truth so as to be convinced that Jesus is the promised Messiah, and that he had sprinkled our hearts from an evil conscience; for such there remaineth no sacrifice for sins; for as the Jewish sacrifices are abolished, as appears by the declaration of God himself in the fortieth Psalm, and Jesus being now the only sacrifice which God will accept, those who reject him have none other; therefore their case must be utterly without remedy.

Commentary on the Whole Bible (1710)

This is the great transgression: the apostle seems to refer to the law concerning presumptuous sinners, Num. xv. From the dreadful doom of such apostates. (1.) There remains no more sacrifice for such sins, no other Christ to come to save such sinners; they sin against the last resort and remedy.

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible (1871)

There the warning was that if there be not diligence in progressing, a falling off will take place, and apostasy may ensue: here it is, that if there be lukewarmness in Christian communion, apostasy may ensue. if we sin--Greek present participle: if we be found sinning, that is, not isolated acts, but a state of sin [ALFORD].

“If we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more a sacrifice for sins.” The logic is the book’s own: there is no second Calvary to go back to. “It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.”
