• There is no more resource in the treasures of grace. God has no fresh and higher way of presenting Christ to act on them for recovery. Therefore is it added for such as "fell away" that it is "impossible to renew such again unto repentance, re-crucifying for themselves as they do, and putting to shame the Son of God." There had been Christ here in humiliation; there is Christ in glory above: what more, deeper, higher, has God to win the heart by? (“Hebrews 6:4-8” by W. Kelly)
• Carefully notice how the scripture before us guards us from confounding light and power with life. Not a word implies that those that fell away were ever quickened in the Christ, or sealed with the Spirit, or baptized in His energy into the one body. It is simply the case of disciples walking no more with Christ, stumbling at the truth or its consequences. So it was when He was here. (“Hebrews 6:4-8” by W. Kelly)
• Associated with the people who had done so, he had acknowledged the sin which his people had committed and owned Jesus to be the Messiah. But now he committed the crime, knowingly and of his own will. (“Hebrews 6” by J.N. Darby)
• This “falling away,” of which the Apostle speaks, is not the backsliding of a true believer, but the apostasy of a mere professor. (“The Danger of Apostasy: Hebrews 6:4-8” by H. Smith)
• Such partook in an outward way of the privileges of the Christian circle, and yet could give up their profession and return to Judaism. So doing, they returned to a system that had ended in the crucifixion of the Messiah. (“The Danger of Apostasy: Hebrews 6:4-8” by H. Smith)
• “If they shall fall away” refers to Jews who had nominally embraced Christianity but gave it all up — apostates (Heb. 10:26,39; 1 John 2:19). (“Help on Hard Verses” by A.C. Brown)
