Hebrews
This
letter was written to Jewish believers who were tempted to abandon the fullness
of Christ and go back to a religious system soon to be destroyed.
Too
many believers today, like Israel in the Old Testament are wandering in the
wilderness of unbelief and yearning to go back to the old life.
Hebrews
explains Habakkuk 2:4 “The just shall live by his faith.” God has spoken
through His Son, and we must respond to that Word. Our response determines the
kind of life we live and how much of our spiritual inheritance we claim. We are
not only saved by faith, but we must also live by faith.
Hebrews
let’s us know Jesus is Superior. He’s superior to the Old Testament prophets,
to the angels, and Moses. Christ’s priesthood is superior to Aaron’s because He
is a perfect High Priest.
Sometimes
we are tempted to give up and are inclined to substitute other things, family
rules, religious traditions, human wisdom, salvation by works for Christ’s
once-for-all works.
Christ
is not only the answer to every aspect of faith, but God’s final answer. The
one and only plan for His children. Christians have no higher calling but to
press on in the faith, no matter the cost, confident in Christ and anchored in
His truth!
Please read the Book listed so that you can understand the word of God to
its fullness. This study comes from The Jeremiah Study Bible, The Bible for
Hope, The King James Bible and the Nelson’s Quick Reference Bible Commentary
