Tuesday 3/5 Hebrews 6 - Hard Teachings

One common mistake with this Hebrews 6 is forgetting that the writer is describing a very specific sin in this passage - the sin of willful rejection of gods salvation through Jesus. We should be mindful of this sin without being paranoid that we might accidently commit it. How Does the message in Luke 15 balance the message of Hebrews 6? How do these two passages complement each other?

How do you feel when you read that the nature of God's purpose is unchanging?

What was the promise that God made to Abraham? Do you think God could be trusted to fulfill that promise? If so, why do you think God made an oath? Who did God swear by? Do you think Abraham had reason to doubt God’s promise? Do we sometimes doubt God’s promises? Are you waiting patiently for a promise to be fulfilled?

In contrast to falling away, we are called to live in hope. Hope is one of the indispensable qualities of a Christian life. How does Hebrews 6 describe hope? What does it look like to live in hope? How does hope change our lives?

How does this anchor hold us secure during the storms of our lives?
