Hebrews chapters 9 & 10

GOD'S MESSAGE FOR ME TODAY
For if we go on sinning willfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a terrifying expectation of judgement...It is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God. —Hebrews 10:26–27a and 31

HOW DOES THIS APPLY TO MY LIFE?
We enjoy thinking about how much our heavenly Father loves us. But what isn't so fun is thinking about His just punishments.

Now I don't know what it means when it says "there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins" but I'm hoping it's referring to us not asking forgiveness and doing what we want because we know (at least we think we know) we are saved. In any case, I don't want to find out the hard way.
