The book of Hebrews gives assurance that faith in the risen and interceding Lord brings salvation as a present reality. As a pastoral letter, Hebrews shows how Messianic Jews can learn from the mistakes of their forefathers who heard the gospel but did not believe it. He urges them to persevere in their faith in Christ until the end in order to enter the promised inheritance.
Christian faith brings even more privileges and responsibilities to cherish such a great salvation.
A rejection of the gospel is an apostasy from the living God, who has revealed Himself through Jesus. In Christ we are tasting now the powers of the age to come. We believe that Paul was the author of this important Epistle even though it is anonymous. It is beyond question that this book is indeed inspired by the Holy Spirit. May it speak to our hearts this week as we focus on the assurance we have in Jesus our High Priest.
