The Fall of These Enlightened

Is it possible to fall from grace?

The Epistle to the Hebrews presents one of the most sobering warnings in the New Testament. Hebrews 6:4–6 speaks of those once enlightened who have fallen away—and declares it impossible to restore them to repentance.

This passage raises two profound theological challenges:

• How can someone enlightened by the truth commit apostasy?
• Why is restoration considered impossible?

This book explores the nature of this “falling away,” not as a momentary lapse, but as a deliberate rejection of Christ’s sufficiency and the covenant of grace. Drawing on the insights of John Calvin and Matthew Poole, the author presents a doctrinal and pastoral exposition grounded in the historic Reformed tradition.
