Hebrews
God has now spoken fully in His Son, who is the radiance of God’s glory, creator and sustainer of all, seated at God’s right hand and far superior to angels.
Hebrews
Since the message announced by angels proved reliable, we must not drift; Jesus shared our humanity, suffered death, and became the pioneer who brings many sons to glory.
Hebrews
Consider Jesus—greater than Moses—and beware a hard, unbelieving heart; do not repeat Israel’s rebellion but hold fast with confidence to enter God’s rest.
Hebrews
A Sabbath-rest still stands; strive to enter it, for God’s living word exposes hearts, and our sympathetic high priest invites bold approach to the throne of grace.
Hebrews
Christ, appointed like Melchizedek, learned obedience through suffering and became the source of eternal salvation—yet readers remain dull of hearing and need maturity.
Hebrews
Leave elementary teachings and press on; falling away after full enlightenment is perilous, but God’s unchangeable promise and oath give strong hope—an anchor within the veil.
Hebrews
Melchizedek’s priesthood shows Levi’s inferiority; Jesus, an eternal priest by oath, saves completely and mediates a better covenant than the law could ever provide.
Hebrews
Christ ministers in the true heavenly sanctuary, establishing the promised new covenant: God’s laws written on hearts, sins remembered no more, rendering the old obsolete.
Hebrews
The earthly tabernacle foreshadowed Christ, who entered the heavenly Most Holy Place once for all with His own blood, securing eternal redemption and cleansing consciences.
Hebrews
One perfect sacrifice has sanctified forever; therefore draw near, hold fast, stir one another up, and do not forsake assembling—warning that willful sin invites fearful judgment.
Hebrews
Faith is assurance of things hoped for; by faith the ancients pleased God—Abel, Noah, Abraham, Moses, and many others who looked for a better, heavenly country.
Hebrews
Run the race fixing eyes on Jesus, endure the Father’s discipline, pursue peace and holiness, heed the better voice from heavenly Mount Zion, for our God is a consuming fire.
Hebrews
Show brotherly love, purity, hospitality, and honor leaders; remember prisoners; Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever—offer continual praise as you await the eternal city.
