When Rain Falls But No Fruit Grows

In this sermon from Hebrews 6:4–8, Pastor Neil Sandlin walks through one of the most sobering warning passages in the Bible.This passage is not meant to teach that true believers can lose their salvation, nor is it meant to be softened until the warning disappears. Instead, Hebrews 6 shows us the danger of experiencing great covenant privileges, sitting under the truth, seeing the work of the Spirit, and living near the things of Christ while never truly belonging to Christ by faith.Using the backdrop of Israel in the wilderness and the covenant imagery of Deuteronomy, this message explores the difference between spiritual exposure and genuine salvation. The same rain can fall on two fields, but eventually the fruit reveals the nature of the soil.Hebrews 6 is not meant to drive true believers away from Christ. It is meant to keep us clinging to Christ.
