What happens when someone apostatizes?

When someone apostatizes, they make a conscious decision to turn away from the gospel after having known and accepted the truth. According to Hebrews 10:26-27, there remains no further sacrifice for sins, leading to a certain expectation of judgment. The individual who practices apostasy is portrayed as forsaking their own mercy, as they deliberately reject the only means of salvation, which is found in Jesus Christ. This rejection results not in divine chastening, but in a serious consequence of facing God's fiery indignation (Hebrews 10:27). The stark reality is that those who turn away from the only salvation leave themselves without any hope of redemption.
