9-Hebrews 6:13-20 (The Certainty of God's Promise)

 The Certainty of God's Promise

Here after dealing with the above text not talking about losing your salvation, but stating if you do lose it you can't get if back. We look at another piece of the puzzle to eternal security. The idea of perseverance of the saints that God will finish what He starts.

It is His nature to complete what He starts well. So if your salvation wasn't completed it would be better to assume that God never started it, than to think He couldn't keep you from falling away. That is just a wrong view of God. You have to have a extra biblical view of free will to believe this. Apart from God our will is not free, but bound. That is why we need the liberation that only He can provide.

Promise, confirmation, and guarantee 

two unchangeable things

We who have fled for refuge might have strong encouragement to hold fast to the hope set before us.

We have this as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul

A hope that enters into the inter place behind the curtain, where Jesus has gone on our behalf

(God is saying here, I want you to have confidence in my salvation for you)(It is what the text say not my opinion or bias)

8-Hebrews 5:11-6:12 (Warning Against Apostasy)

 Warning Against Apostasy

Young group of believers that are not progressing along.

He encourages them strongly.

He has better hopes for them.

vs 4-6 is a hypothetical not this group for sure and does not point a finger to any specific real group.

Can not use text to support losing salvation, but can support if you lose it you can't get it back.

Catholic believe if you commit a moral sin you lose it and have to do restorative work to get it back

This text is a transition piece outside of the narrative. A break to talk to audience about their growth and maturity.

7-Hebrews 4:14-5:10 (Jesus the Great High Priest)

 Jesus the Great High Priest

Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

Heb. 2:18, for because he himself has suffered when tempted, he able to help those who are being tempted.

For every high priest chosen from among men

is appointed to act on behalf of men in relation to God

to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins.

He can deal gently with the ignorant and wayward, since he himself is beset with weakness. (This is why we still sin also, is because we are man and have weakness toward temptations)

Because of this He is obligated to offer sacrifice for his own sins just as He does for those of the people

And no one takes this honor for himself, but only when called by God, just as Aaron was.

In his days of his flesh, Jesus offered up prayers and supplications, with loud cries and tears to Him, who was able to save Him from death

although He was a son, He learned obedience through what He suffered

And being made perfect, He became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey Him

Designated by God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek.

6-Hebrews 3:7-4:13 (A Rest for the People of God)
