Ezekiel 3:20-21
New International Version (NIV)
“Again, when a righteous person turns from their righteousness and does evil, and I put a stumbling block before them, they will die. Since you did not warn them, they will die for their sin. The righteous things that person did will not be remembered, and I will hold you accountable for their blood. But if you do warn the righteous person not to sin and they do not sin, they will surely live because they took warning, and you will have saved yourself.”
Can a person who has been shunning the sinful nature of the Devil be deceived again? Yes, he can, if he has not put to death all the misdeeds of the sinful nature of the Devil in him. He had failed to depend on God the Holy Spirit because if He did, he will be surely led to destroy the misdeeds in him. Can all the good things he had done before he was deceived again be destroyed too? Yes, if he continually disobeys God the Holy Spirit, it will show unbelief. Can you belief at one time and now you don't. Yes, if there is unbelief in you whenever God the Holy Spirit leads you to God's word and you do not obey Him at all. Disobedience to God the Holy Spirit will result with no Christformation in you. Let this be a warning for the righteous to be alert at all times so that they may obey God the Holy Spirit for full Christformation in them and not be complacent or careless at any point.
Hebrews 3:12-19
New International Version (NIV)
See to it, brothers and sisters, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God. But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called “Today,” so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness. We have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original conviction firmly to the very end. As has just been said: “Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion.” Who were they who heard and rebelled? Were they not all those Moses led out of Egypt? And with whom was he angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies perished in the wilderness? And to whom did God swear that they would never enter his rest if not to those who disobeyed? So we see that they were not able to enter, because of their unbelief.
