Hebrews 12:14-17
The Christian life is thought by many to be easy and happy. Reality teaches us that it is difficult. The devil and his hoard hate us because of Jesus. Our worldview and lifestyle is one of holiness instead of unholiness. There are several comparisons in Scriptures with Galatians 5:19-23. The…

Hebrews 11:1-7
The Hebrews writer ends chapter 10—39 But we are not those who turn back into eternal ruin but of those who have faith for preserving the soul—and now proceeds to write about faith both its definition and examples. Faith, believing God, is of upmost importance. My translation and notes on Hebrews…

Hebrews 10:26-39
The Hebrews writer continues from Messiah being the superior sacrifice and High Priest speaking of our faith, the importance of faith, and the necessity of continuing in faith. Faith is believing God. Our faith must continue to be salvation from sins, the effects of sin, and our daily life in…
