Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. This is what the ancients were commended for. —Hebrews 11:1 He regarded disgrace for the sake of Christ as of greater value than the treasures of Egypt, because he was looking ahead to his reward. —Hebrews 11:26 Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” —Hebrews 13:5              What is our faith like?  Are we “confidence in what we hope for?”  Do we have the “assurance about what we do not see?” …

He did not enter by means of the blood of goats and calves; but he entered the Most Holy Place once for all by his own blood, thus obtaining eternal redemption… that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance—now that he has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant. —Hebrews 9:12,15 But he has appeared once for all at the culmination of the ages to do away with sin by the sacrifice of himself. Just as people are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment, so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many; and he…

Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them. —Hebrews 7:26 He sacrificed for their sins once for all when he offered himself. —Hebrews 7:27 The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in Him, and I am helped.  Therefore my heart rejoices, and I give thanks to Him with my song. —Psalm 28:7-8              I rejoice to know, and my heart sings out, that “The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in Him, and I am helped.”  Without Jesus, I would be doomed forever.  How amazing is it that “He…

We have much to say about this, but it is hard to make it clear to you because you no longer try to understand. In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God’s word all over again. You need milk, not solid food! Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness. But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil. —Hebrews 5:11-14 The Lord is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear?  The Lord is the stronghold of my life— of whom shall I…

Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts. —Hebrews 3:7-8 Their hearts are always going astray, and they have not known my ways. —Hebrews 3:10 See to it, brothers and sisters, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God. But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called “Today,” so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness. —Hebrews 3:12-13 And to whom did God swear that they would never enter his rest if not to those who disobeyed? So we see that they were not able to enter, because of their unbelief. —Hebrews 3:18-19              What…

In the past God spoke to our ancestors 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 also he made the universe. The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.  So he became as much superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is superior to theirs.   For to which of the angels…

To Philemon our dear friend and fellow worker— also to Apphia our sister and Archippus our fellow soldier—and to the church that meets in your home. —Philemon 1:1-2 I pray that your partnership with us in the faith may be effective in deepening your understanding of every good thing we share for the sake of Christ. —Philemon 1:6 So if you consider me a partner, welcome him as you would welcome me. —Philemon 1:17              Paul is writing to Philemon who he considers— Do you have other followers of Christ that you truly consider friends?  Have you other believers around you that you consider fellow workers?  Are you a fellow soldier with…

They claim to know God, but by their actions they deny him. They are detestable, disobedient and unfit for doing anything good. —Titus 1:16 For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, while we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good. —Titus 2:11-14 Our people must…
