Just a few reminder words about VERSE 11-13…. “Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peacable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.” Chastisement in itself is painful.

HEBREWS 11:1 The Book of Hebrews, more than any other Book in the Bible, lays before us most clearly the contrasting of the “Gift of eternal life and the Prize of eternal inheritance.” The clear understanding of which gives the depth of meaning to God-ordained Grace, Faith, and Hope. Thus [...]

HEBREWS CHAPTER 9 VERSES 16-28 CERTAIN PRINCIPLES THAT ARE BEING ESTABLISHED IN THE 9th CHAPTER OF HEBREWS: 1) “Covenant” is far different from “Testament”…effectively as far apart as Law is from Mercy and Grace. 2) THE HIGH PRIEST OFFICE LOOKS TO THE FORGIVENESS OF SIN and Redemption.
