JAMES 2:14–26 You see that his faith and his actions were working together, and his faith was made complete by what he did (James 2:22). One major theme of Hebrews is that believers must persevere in the faith and not fall away. If we are saved by faith alone, how is it that we must … Continue reading “JUSTIFICATION AND WORKS”

HEBREWS 2:1–4 How shall we escape if we neglect such a great salvation? (Hebrews 2:3). When we look at the old covenant, which is centrally presented at Mount Sinai, we see that the words delivered through angels were maintained by divine sanctions. God promised blessings to those who obeyed and threatened curses if the people … Continue reading “NEGLECTING SALVATION”

MATTHEW 7:1–12 If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask Him! (Matthew 7:11).

HEBREWS 1:10–14 To which of the angels did God ever say, “Sit at My right hand until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet”? (Hebrews 1:13). Let’s review the argument in Hebrews 1.

Sometimes aggelos is used to refer to human messengers of … Continue reading “THE MINISTRY OF ANGELS”

HEBREWS 2:1–4 We must pay more careful attention, therefore, to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away (Hebrews 2:1). Hebrews 2 gives us a “therefore” to what has been presented in Hebrews 1. There, the author has established that Jesus is the Son of God and is God Himself. His throne … Continue reading “PAYING CLOSE HEED TO GOD”

HEBREWS 1:5–9 For to which of the angels did God ever say, “You are My Son; today I have begotten You”? Or again, “I will be His Father, and He will be My Son”? (Hebrews 1:5). In the early church, numerous heresies arose to challenge the deity of Jesus Christ. As the church responded, she … Continue reading “THE ONLY BEGOTTEN SON”

HEBREWS 1:10–14 You will roll them up like a robe; like a garment they will be changed. But You remain the same, and Your years will never end (Hebrews 1:12).

HEBREWS 1:1–4 In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, but in these last days He has spoken to us by His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, and through whom He made the universe (Hebrews 1:1–2). There is no greeting at the … Continue reading “THE NEW WORD”

HEBREWS 1:1–4 The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of His being, sustaining all things by His powerful word.
