Hebrews 6:4-6

4 For it is impossible for those who have been once for all enlightened and have tasted the heavenly gift and have become sharers in the Holy Spirit 5 and have tasted God's word and the powers of the coming world, 6 and then have fallen away, to have again a change of heart, since they are crucifying for themselves afresh the Son of God and putting him to open shame.

1 John 1:9

9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness:

Hebrews 10:26-31

26 For if we go on sinning willfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there remains no longer any sacrifice for sins, 27 but a dreadful expectation of doom and a fury of fire that will devour the opposers. 28 Any one who sets aside a law of Moses dies without pity on the testimony of two or three witnesses. 29 Of how much worse punishment do you think he will be judged worthy who has trampled on the Son of God, who has thought the blood of the covenant, by which it was made holy, an unholy thing, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace? 30 For we know him who said, "Vengeance is mine, I will repay," and again, "The Lord will judge his people." 31 It is dreadful to fall into the hands of the living God.
