What is meant by the impossible renewal of the fallen?

Answered in 1 source

The impossibility of renewal reflects the grave reality of rejecting Christ after knowing Him intimately (Hebrews 6:6).

Hebrews 6:6 teaches that if those who have once experienced the full grace of God fall away, it is impossible to renew them again unto repentance. This does not imply that a true believer can lose their salvation, but rather it illustrates the severe consequences of an intentional and irrevocable rejection of Christ. Such a state of apostasy signifies a heart that has hardens itself against the truth, making repentance not just unlikely, but impossible. Thus, the verse serves as a grave warning against complacency and encourages believers to hold fast to their confidence in Christ continually.
