Hebrews 6:1-20
Yes, let us move forward towards spiritual adulthood. Let us not be satisfied, like these Christians who had left Judaism, to know a few elementary truths. The Lord Jesus wants to be more than a Saviour from dead works for us: our Lord, our Example, our best Friend. . .
Vv. 4-6 have often been used by the devil to disturb children of God. In reality these verses do not concern them but those who are Christian in name only. In the moral state described here, one will look in vain for the divine life imparted to the soul of a true believer. But it is possible, alas, to live amidst the privileges of Christianity without having been truly converted! It was true of certain Jews; it is perhaps true today of a number of children of Christian parents. As for true believers, they can never lose their salvation. But they are always in danger of losing their zeal. As well as works of love which God does not forget, faith and hope must not be neglected (vv. 10, 11, 12). They are nourished by divine promises. The Christian knows his home port although still unseen; his anchor is there. However rough the sea of this world may be, faith is "the cable" which firmly binds the redeemed to the unchanging, heavenly place where the Object of his hope is found.
