Though we speak in this way, yet in your case, beloved, we feel sure of better things—things that belong to salvation. For God is not unjust so as to overlook your work and the love that you have shown for his name in serving the saints, as you still do. And we desire each oneContinue reading “Hebrews 6: 9-12…. God sees.”

Hebrews 6: 1-8….Going forward or in reverse?
Therefore let us leave the elementary doctrine of Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God, and of instruction about washings, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. And this we will do if God permits.Continue reading “Hebrews 6: 1-8….Going forward or in reverse?”
Hebrew 5: 11-14…Milk is for babies.
About this we have much to say, and it is hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing. For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the basic principles of the oracles of God. You need milk, not solid food, for everyone who livesContinue reading “Hebrew 5: 11-14…Milk is for babies.”
Hebrews 5: 1-10….. Jesus appointed by God
For every high priest chosen from among men is appointed to act on behalf of men in relation to God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins. He can deal gently with the ignorant and wayward, since he himself is beset with weakness. Because of this he is obligated to offer sacrifice for his ownContinue reading “Hebrews 5: 1-10….. Jesus appointed by God”
Hebrews 4: 14-16…Jesus as High Priest.
Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet withoutContinue reading “Hebrews 4: 14-16…Jesus as High Priest.”
Hebrews 4: 8-13…Thought provoking ideas about rest.
For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken of another day later on. So then, there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God, for whoever has entered God’s rest has also rested from his works as God did from his.Let us therefore strive to enter that rest, so thatContinue reading “Hebrews 4: 8-13…Thought provoking ideas about rest.”
Hebrews 4: 1-7….The Ultimate Promised Rest.
Therefore, while the promise of entering his rest still stands, let us fear lest any of you should seem to have failed to reach it. For good news came to us just as to them, but the message they heard did not benefit them, because they were not united by faith with those who listened.Continue reading “Hebrews 4: 1-7….The Ultimate Promised Rest.”
Hebrews 3: 15 – 4v1….A warning..
As it is said,“Today, if you hear his voice,do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.”For who were those who heard and yet rebelled? Was it not all those who left Egypt led by Moses? And with whom was he provoked for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fellContinue reading “Hebrews 3: 15 – 4v1….A warning..”
Hebrews 3: 7-14…. Reaching the promised land,
Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says,“Today, if you hear his voice,do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion,on the day of testing in the wilderness,where your fathers put me to the testand saw my works for forty years.Therefore I was provoked with that generation,and said, ‘They always go astray in their heart;they have notContinue reading “Hebrews 3: 7-14…. Reaching the promised land,”
Hebrews 3: 1-6….Increase your understanding.
Therefore, holy brothers, you who share in a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession, who was faithful to him who appointed him, just as Moses also was faithful in all God’s house. For Jesus has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses—as much more glory as the builderContinue reading “Hebrews 3: 1-6….Increase your understanding.”
