We accept being judged under the Law of Moses only  by rejecting The Lamb of God.
A religious spirit aided by the legalistic language  of the King James version (1611)  has complicated my understanding of “ no more sacrifice for sins” in  Hebrews10.
“26For if we sin willfully after that we  have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice  for sins,
But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and  fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. He that despised Moses'  law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: Of how much sorer  punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the  Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was  sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace? For we  know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense,  saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people. 31It is a  fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.”
In my old religious organization, I think their  explanation of vs 26, firstly, kept a close connection to how much you fellowshipped (vs25)  with them and, secondly, (more importantly), allowed “sinning willfully” to be  applied as: anyone who knowingly sinned after receiving The Holy Spirit.
This left one in doubt and fear as to whether one  would go with the Lord (and maybe the certainty of not being included if one had rejected “counsel”) in the resurrection.
This doubt and fear might suit the purposes of a  controlling insecure organization, but this is not possible in a church that  understands the ramifications of that amazing total sacrifice of Jesus  Christ for our sins. 
Once Jesus has our attention, it is impossible that it is His will, to let us  be condemned by subsequent mess ups (i.e. forgive 70 times 7). 
To be clear, personal Godly sorrow and prayer under  the blood of Jesus is required when we mess up, knowingly or unknowingly.  When our confidence to walk in the supernatural Spirit with Father God has re-established, we know the mess up (sin) has been relegated to God’s  “sea of forgetfulness”. One’s re-establishment should not be tied to the  reasonings of men although a spiritual support might be required. 
To have this further illuminated, please read the  following New Testament versions.
26If we give up and turn our backs on all  we've learned, all we've been given, all the truth we now know, we repudiate  Christ's sacrifice and are left on our own to face the Judgment—and a mighty fierce judgment it will be!  If the penalty for breaking the law of Moses is physical death, what do you  think will happen if you turn on God's Son, spit on the sacrifice that made you  whole, and insult this most gracious Spirit? This is no light matter. Heb.10.  (Message)
27 (To know that Jesus bore your judgement but  to prefer to carry it yourself by remaining under the law is absurd! What do  you expect if you insult and  oppose God’s gift?) (Mirror) 
The Grace of Jesus has extravagantly paid for all  our sins; not by offering more Old Testament sacrifices or even our personal  sacrifices (works), whereby we might think we could be justified before the Throne.....only the finished work of Jesus.  
When God sees us believing and blessed in Jesus, all He sees in us IS Jesus. .....
He is SOOO GOOOD ...ha...yeh
