Hebrews FEATURED PASSAGES Hebrews 1:8-9 www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Hebrews+1:8-9,1:1-14 SCEPTER OF JUSTICE SCEPTER OF GOD'S KINGDOM Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever; a scepter of justice will be the scepter of your kingdom. You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions by anointing you with the oil of joy Hebrews 2:10-11 www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Hebrews+2:10-11,2:1-18 SONS AND DAUGHTERS BROUGHT TO GLORY In bringing many sons and daughters to glory, it was fitting that God, for whom and through whom everything exists, should make the pioneer of their salvation perfect through what he suffered. Both the one who makes people holy and those who are made holy are of the same family Hebrews 3:7-11 www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Hebrews+3:7-11,3:1-19 FORTY YEARS OF DISOBEDIENCE REBELLION BY IMPENITENT ISRAELIS 'THEY SHALL NEVER ENTER MY REST' So, as the Holy Spirit says: “Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion, during the time of testing in the wilderness, where your ancestors tested and tried me, though for forty years they saw what I did. That is why I was angry with that generation; I said, ‘Their hearts are always going astray, and they have not known my ways.’ So I declared on oath in my anger, ‘They shall never enter my rest.’” Hebrews 4:9-12 www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Hebrews+4:9-12,4:1-16 THE EXAMPLE OF JEWISH DISOBEDIENCE IN THE WILDERNESS THE WORD OF GOD IS ALIVE SHARPER THAN ANY TWO-EDGED SWORD There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; for anyone who enters God’s rest also rests from their works, just as God did from his. Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will perish by following their example of disobedience. For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart Hebrews 5:8-10 www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Hebrews+5:8-10,5:1-14 OBEDIENCE LEARNED BY SUFFERING THE SOURCE OF ETERNAL SALVATION THE ORDER OF MELCHIZEDEK Son though he was, he learned obedience from what he suffered and, once made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him. And he was designated by God to be high priest in the order of Melchizedek Hebrews 6:10 www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Hebrews+6:10,6:1-20 LET US MOVE BEYOND ELEMENTARY TEACHINGS God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them Hebrews 7:14-17 www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Hebrews+7:14-17,7:1-28 MELCHIZEDEK KING OF RIGHTEOUSNESS KING OF SALEM KING OF PEACE THE POWER OF AN INDESTRUCTIBLE LIFE For it is clear that our Lord descended from Judah, and in regard to that tribe Moses said nothing about priests. And what we have said is even more clear if another priest like Melchizedek appears, one who has become a priest not on the basis of a regulation as to his ancestry but on the basis of the power of an indestructible life. For it is declared: “You are a priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek.” Hebrews 8:8-10 www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Hebrews+8:8-18,8:1-13 QUOTING THE JEWISH PROPHET JEREMIAH: A NEW COVENANT GOD'S LAWS IN THEIR MINDS LAWS WRITTEN ON THEIR HEARTS I WILL BE THEIR GOD THEY SHALL BE MY PEOPLE “The days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the people of Israel and with the people of Judah. It will not be like the covenant I made with their ancestors when I took them by the hand to lead them out of Egypt, because they did not remain faithful to my covenant, and I turned away from them, declares the Lord. This is the covenant I will establish with the people of Israel after that time, declares the Lord. I will put my laws in their minds and write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people” Hebrews 9:22 www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Hebrews+9:22,9:1-28 WITHOUT THE SHEDDING OF BLOOD THERE IS NO FORGIVENESS In fact, the law requires that nearly everything be cleansed with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness Hebrews 10:4 www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Hebrews+10:4,10:1-39 THE TAKING AWAY OF SINS It is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins Hebrews 10:26-27 www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Hebrews+10:26-27,10:1-39 EXPECTATION OF JUDGMENT EXPECTATION OF RAGING FIRE If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God Hebrews 11: www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Hebrews+ Hebrews 12: www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Hebrews+ Hebrews 13: www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Hebrews+ |
