What does it mean to 'fall away' according to Hebrews?

Answered in 1 source

To 'fall away' signifies a complete renunciation of faith after having received the truth.

In the context of Hebrews 6:6, 'fall away' refers to a deliberate and conscious rejection of the Gospel after experiencing its transformative power. The Greek term used indicates a serious departure and is contrasted with true believers, who are continuously upheld by God. This description serves as a stark warning about the nature of faith that is merely superficial and highlights the necessity for a genuine, ongoing commitment to Christ.
