- The concluding verses of this section – our text – give us the proper perspective: our security and our endurance are rooted in God’s changeless promises (covenants).

It seems as though I have heard a lot of promises lately. Oh, yes, it is an election year isn’t it? I hope that all of us have figured out that almost all of the promises we hear from political candidates (whatever their political party) are empty words. In many instances the candidates promise different things to different people, knowing that the...
Hebrews 6:13-20 serves as the conclusion to a digression which began in chapter 5 at verse 11. The author has presented a powerful demonstration of the sufficiency of God the Son in chapters 1 and 2, and then drew our attention to the deficiency of men in chapters 3 and 4. He did so by means of the example of the first generation of Israelites to l...

Overall, the purpose of the author is to undergird the Hebrew Christians’ assurance and confidence in their confession of faith in Christ.

15 The Lord’s angel called to Abraham a second time from heaven 16 and said, “‘I solemnly swear by my own name,’ decrees the Lord, ‘that because you have done this and have not withheld your son, your only son, 17 I will indeed bless you, and I will greatly multiply your descendants so that they will be as countless as the stars in the sky or the g...
So we return to the question I raised earlier: “Why does God now affirm his covenant with Abraham by swearing an oath after the greatest test of his faith?” Shouldn’t God have given an oath before this test, rather than after it? Let’s consider some important factors in the answer to this question. First, hope is the basis for endurance.Hope inspir...
19 We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, sure and steadfast, which reaches inside behind the curtain, 20 where Jesus our forerunner entered on our behalf, since he became a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek (Hebrews 6:19-20). The author changes to different imagery to describe the safety and security of the Christian. Because our ho...
Our text has been about God’s promises, so let’s conclude by focusing on some of the truths we have seen and what impact these have on us. First, we find that God’s promises are the basis for our faith. Now faith is being sure of what we hope for, being convinced of what we do not see (Hebrews 11:1). Those things that we hope for, yet do not see, a...
