Who Has Trampled - Hebrews 10:26-31

Hebrews 10:26-31 ESV 
For if we go on sinning deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a fearful expectation of judgment, and a fury of fire that will consume the adversaries. Anyone who has set aside the law of Moses dies without mercy on the evidence of two or three witnesses. How much worse punishment, do you think, will be deserved by the one who has trampled underfoot the Son of God, and has profaned the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and has outraged the Spirit of grace? For we know him who said, “Vengeance is mine; I will repay.” And again, “The Lord will judge his people.” It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

The theology of "once saved, always saved" is shown to be a false teaching. That notion is dispelled here and many other places. One who has received the truth can be given over to their sin. There is no limit to the grace of God, but there is an end. Only God knows that end for a particular person, when they are given over to wickedness. 

Satan is trampled by the feet of Christ. What will happen to one who tramples on the Son of God? The vengeance of God.
