Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Hebrews 13:8  In a world that is constantly changing, we can be assured that Jesus, and by extension God, does not change. God…

Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured…

Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. For by it the men of old gained approval.                                                                                                                     Hebrews 11:1-2  Perhaps the best definition of faith that we have in scripture appears in today’s passage. Faith is being assured of things that have yet to take…

…let us draw near with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful; and let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds, not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the…

By this will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. For by one offering He has perfected for all time those who are sanctified. Now where there is forgiveness of these things, there is no longer any offering for sin. Hebrews 10:10, 14, 18  We continue to look at the idea that our redemption in…

But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things to come, He entered through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation; and not through the blood of goats and calves, but through His own blood, He entered the holy place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption.                                                                                                                             …

For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no occasion sought for a second. When He said, “A new covenant,” He has made the first obsolete. But whatever is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to disappear.                                                                                                                Hebrews 8:7, 13  First things first, the old covenant…

But now He (Jesus) has obtained a more excellent ministry, by as much as He (Jesus) is also the mediator of a better covenant, which has been enacted on better promises.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     Hebrews 8:6  We continue looking at the superiority of the…

For, on the one hand, there is a setting aside of a former commandment because of its weakness and uselessness (for the Law made nothing perfect), and on the other hand there is a bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God.                                                                                                                                                     …

For God is not unjust so as to forget your work and the love which you have shown toward His name, in having ministered and in still ministering to the saints. And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence so as to realize the full assurance of hope until the end, so that you will not be sluggish, but imitators of…
