Hebrews 12:25-29

Those who receive God's unshakable kingdom must listen to His voice and worship with reverent awe.

Hebrews 12:25-29 (WEB)

25 See that you don’t refuse him who speaks. For if they didn’t escape when they refused him who warned on the earth, how much more will we not escape who turn away from him who warns from heaven,

26 whose voice shook the earth then, but now he has promised, saying, “Yet once more I will shake not only the earth, but also the heavens.”

27 This phrase, “Yet once more” signifies the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that have been made, that those things which are not shaken may remain.

28 Therefore, receiving a Kingdom that can’t be shaken, let’s have grace, through which we serve God acceptably, with reverence and awe,

29 for our God is a consuming fire.

Central Idea

Chapter: Hebrews 12

Run with Endurance, Receive the Father's Discipline, and Worship the Unshakable Kingdom

Because Jesus endured the cross and opened access to heavenly Zion, believers must run with perseverance, receive the Father's discipline, pursue holiness, and worship God with reverent gratitude as heirs of an unshakable kingdom.
