Re: Hebrews 6:4 and falling away from the faith
For ground that drinks the rain which often falls on it and brings forth vegetation useful to those for whose sake it is also tilled, receives a blessing from God; but if it yields thorns and thistles, it is worthless and close to being cursed, and it ends up being burned. But, beloved, we are convinced of better things concerning you, and things that accompany salvation, though we are speaking in this way.Hebrews 6:1-9
"BUT, BELOVED, WE ARE CONVINCED OF BETTER THINGS CONCERNING YOU"
