Study 14 From The Book of
Hebrews Is: Hebrews 10:19-39
Having finished his doctrinal
exposition, the writer proceeds to give practical counsel for the life we are
to live under the new covenant.
1.
Verses 19-25. How are we here exhorted to give expression
to our faith, hope and love? Seek in
your own life to discern ways in which these exhortations demand your
obedience.
2.
Verses 26-39. For those who have God-given light concerning
the way of salvation, what is the only alternative to going on with God? Why
are its consequences so serious? On what grounds does the writer here expect,
and appeal for, the best from his readers?
Notes
1.
Verse 22. As the high priest
and his sons at their consecration for service in the earthly sanctuary were
washed with water and sprinkled with the blood of sacrifice (Ex. 29: 4, 21), so
we in ‘heart’ and ‘body’ (that is,
inwardly and outwardly, in our whole being) have been ‘sanctified’ by Christ’s sacrifice.
2.
Verses 26, 29. The writer has in mind deliberate and
persistent apostasy—self-chosen denial and defiance of both the Son of God and
the Spirit of grace. The closing words of verse 26 mean that no second atoning
sacrifice is provided for those who reject the sacrifice of Christ and His
sanctifying blood.
