Day 26: October 2, 2025 – Leviticus 9-12 and Hebrews 5-6

We find the ordination and consecration of Aaron and then immediately following the death by fire of two of his children. You see once they see their dad become almost without equal, they think that they are able to do anything that they want. But instead God says no, you have to obey my commandments and do things the way that I have told you to do them. They are not children, they are adults, but they also think that they have free reign because of the position of their father. A series of laws follows in Leviticus.

In Hebrews you have a verse that is a source of much debate and controversy and you can find that in Hebrews 6:4 that states that it is impossible to restore to repentance one who has already believed but then fallen away. The debate comes with the question of “once saved always saved.” That statement is one in which I fully believe, even as people try to parse away this concept with questions as to whether that someone actually ever fully believed or not. Allowing God to be Lord over all things, including salvation, removes any certainty in us anytime that we speak about salvation, especially when we are speaking about leaving people out of salvation. God is the Lord of all things including who just might be in the Kingdom with Him. We don’t get to decide that, for better or worse.
