Hebrews 6:13-20
Because God's promise and oath are unchangeable, believers possess an unshakable hope anchored in Christ who has entered God's presence on their behalf.
13 For when God made a promise to Abraham, since he could swear by no one greater, he swore by himself,
14 saying, “Surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you.”
15 Thus, having patiently endured, he obtained the promise.
16 For men indeed swear by a greater one, and in every dispute of theirs the oath is final for confirmation.
17 In this way God, being determined to show more abundantly to the heirs of the promise the immutability of his counsel, interposed with an oath,
18 that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have a strong encouragement, who have fled for refuge to take hold of the hope set before us.
19 This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and steadfast and entering into that which is within the veil;
20 where as a forerunner Jesus entered for us, having become a high priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.
Because God's promise and oath are unchangeable, believers possess an unshakable hope anchored in Christ who has entered God's presence on their behalf.
To assure believers that their hope rests securely in God's unchangeable promise and oath fulfilled in Christ.
Press On to Maturity with Reverent Warning and Anchored Hope
The church must press on to maturity with sober fear of falling away and strong hope anchored in God's unchangeable promise and Christ's heavenly priesthood.
