For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and fiery indignation which will devour the adversaries. Anyone who has rejected Moses’ law dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. Of how much worse punishment, do you suppose, will he be thought worthy who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, counted the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified a common thing, and insulted the Spirit of grace? Hebrews 10:26-29

Hebrews 10:26-29
There is no forgiveness for willful sin, sin that is knowingly practiced over and over without repentance. Galatians 5:19-21 lists the deeds or works of the flesh, indicating that those who practice such things shall not enter the kingdom of God.
Under the old covenant in Moses' day, if one was caught picking up sticks on the Sabbath day, on the testimony of two or three witnesses, he would be stoned to death! We, however, would receive worse punishment because we insult the Holy Spirit and trample Jesus' blood underfoot.
Beware lest you continually practice sin, which could lead to a "Sin unto death!" The apostle Paul turned a young man over to Satan for the destruction of his flesh for practicing immorality with his stepmother.
For we know Him who said, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord. And again, “The Lord will judge His people.” It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. Hebrews 10:30,31
