Hebrews 10:26-27 (NIV)
26 If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left,
27 but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God.
The sacrifice of Jesus covers all sins save one. If we reject who He is and what He did for us, then we will stand condemned before God on the Day of Judgment. There is no pardon apart from the saving grace of Jesus, who will judge on that last day.
The light has come into the world. Accepting the truth of that light leads to eternal life. Many who see the light turn away. They exchange light for darkness, truth for a lie, and good for evil. They refuse and deny the Spirit, therefore God.
God is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. There are not two Gods: one of the Old Testament and one of the New Testament. There is only the One God whose justice required the sacrifice of His own Son that we may come to Him and live. God is revealed in both Testaments.
Turning to Christ for forgiveness, we receive mercy.
Turning away from Christ, we condemn ourselves.
