HEBREWS

HEBREWS “The writer . . . encourages them with the assurance that they have everything to lose if they fall back, but everything to gain if they press on.” –F.F. Bruce

Message of Hebrews: HEBREWS Continue following the superior Savior, Jesus Christ.

A More Desirable Maturity

Hebrews 5:11 – 6:8 (NET Bible) 11 On this topic we have much to say and it is difficult to explain, since you have become sluggish in hearing. 12 For though you should in fact be teachers by this time, you need someone to teach you the beginning elements of God’s utterances. You have gone back to needing milk, not solid food.

Hebrews 5:11 – 6:8 (NET Bible) 13 For everyone who lives on milk is inexperienced in the message of righteousness, because he is an infant. 14 But solid food is for the mature, whose perceptions are trained by practice to discern both good and evil.

Hebrews 5:11 – 6:8 (NET Bible) 1 Therefore we must progress beyond the elementary instructions about Christ and move on to maturity, not laying this foundation again: repentance from dead works and faith in God, 2 teaching about baptisms, laying on of hands, resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment.

Hebrews 5:11 – 6:8 (NET Bible) 3 And this is what we intend to do, if God permits. 4 For it is impossible in the case of those who have once been enlightened, tasted the heavenly gift, become partakers of the Holy Spirit, 5 tasted the good word of God and the miracles of the coming age, 6 and then have committed apostasy, to renew them again to repentance, since they are crucifying the Son of God for themselves all over again and holding him up to contempt.

Hebrews 5:11 – 6:8 (NET Bible) 7 For the ground that has soaked up the rain that frequently falls on it and yields useful vegetation for those who tend it receives a blessing from God. 8 But if it produces thorns and thistles, it is useless and about to be cursed; its fate is to be burned.

A More Desirable Maturity Apostasy: Falling or turning away from one’s faith. The term originally designated political defection or rebellion, but later came to be used of those departing from obedience to Christ. -Zondervan Dictionary

A More Desirable Maturity “Unless the readers go forward, they will meet with disaster.” –Donald Hagner

A More Desirable Maturity Three Possibilities: once saved, still saved

A More Desirable Maturity Three Possibilities: once saved, still saved once saved, no longer saved

A More Desirable Maturity Three Possibilities: once saved, still saved once saved, no longer saved never saved in the first place

A More Desirable Maturity “Christians can apostatize. Yet paradoxically, if they become true apostates, they show that they were not authentic Christians.” –Donald Hagner

A More Desirable Maturity “Scripture points to instances where people seemed to begin the Christian life, sometimes very impressively, yet were later revealed never to have been born again, never to have become genuine followers of Christ.” -Quicknotes Commentary

A More Desirable Maturity “Those who persevere are the true saints.” –F.F. Bruce

A More Desirable Maturity Application: Grow Up

A More Desirable Maturity “In the author’s point of view, there are two paths the recipients could be on: either going towards Christ or away from him. There is no middle ground of ‘saved but not progressing.’” –Michael Burer
