Subject: Heb6:4-6 Loosing salvation or what? |
Bible Note: We are always to consider the obvious passages of the bible to understand the obscure passages. We know from other passages the language concerning saved persons is different. It would say this person has been justified or some other description that would be positive evidence of salvation. Rom 5:1 Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, We do not find that positive description here. Again look at the history of what was going on at the time. People were being killed for their faith. Nero was trying to blame the christians so he could burn Rome. He even used them as torches. Would this not shake the church? But instead of stamping them out it made christianity stronger. Hebrews is a word of exhortation. An encouragement to hold on. The way to do that and is pointed out in Hebrews is to keep your focus on Jesus Christ, our High Priest who can and will help us. We must look at the entire message of Hebrews and the authors purpose. |
