Heb 6:7 | MHM | STEP | v. 7 : Spiritual growth helps us avoid the great danger of falling away from God. He warns that people can go far in religion and still fall back and be lost (Hebrews 6:4-5 ). Some people are enlightened, experience the Holy Spirit, and even taste the goodness of God’s word, but do not truly belong to Christ. For example, Balaam saw God’s truth but did not change his heart (Numbers 24:3 ). Some people like the message of Jesus, but do not want to give up their old lives. Others have spiritual gifts but lack real saving faith. These people may feel close to God for a time, but without true conversion, they can still fall away.
