Introduction: Hebrews is an anonymous New Testament epistle (letter) written to prove the supremacy of the New Covenant over the Old Covenant.

 

Hebrews 1:1-3 — Jesus Christ is not a partial glimpse of God, as was provided to us at various times in the past through different prophets, but God’s selfie—His final, finished, and full self-portrait.

 

Hebrews 1:1-3 — All we need to know about God has been revealed to us in Christ.

 

Hebrew 1:2 — Jesus Christ, by whom God created all things, is God’s final Word to all men.

 

Hebrews 1:2 — Jesus Christ, whom God has appointed Heir of all things, is also God’s final and full revelation of Himself to us all. God not only said it all when He said Jesus, but he has nothing else to say!

 

Hebrews 1:10-12 When the heavens and the earth, which are the works of God's hands, wear out, when God rolls them up like a robe and they are resolved, God, their Creator, will still remain, infinite and immutable!

 

Hebrews 2:14-15 — God had to become a man and put on a mortal body so that He could die in the sinner’s stead and set the sinner free from the fear of death.

 

Hebrews 2:14-15 — Christ kicked the backdoor out of death and arose from the dead with the devil’s keys to the grave swinging on His hip.

 

Hebrews 2:14-15 — The fear of death is the fetter that the devil can bind our country with throughout its future, as well as our citizenry with throughout the rest of our lives. Only Christ can free us from the fear of death and this fetter of the devil.

 

Hebrews 2:18  Christ suffered temptation so that He could succor the tempted.

 

Although Christ, unlike us, never succumbed to temptation, He suffered temptation so that He can sympathize with the tempted.

 

Hebrews 3:7-8 Christ doesn't come to you whenever you call Him, but you must come to Christ whenever He calls you. The day you hear His voice is the day of your salvation, so don't harden your heart, lest you forfeit your soul. (2 Corinthians 6:2)

 

Hebrews 4:1-11  Everyday is a Sabbath Day for the Christian who is resting in Christ; that is, who has stopped trying to earn God's acceptance and started trusting Christ to make him acceptable to God. 

 

Hebrews 4:10 — As it was in creation, so it is in salvation. God, through Christ, has done everything that needs to be done. Therefore, all that is left for us to do is rest in the finished work God has done through Christ.

 

Hebrews 4:14-15 — God became a man to walk in our shoes so that He could sympathize with our woes.

 

Hebrews 4:14-15; 7:25 — God had to become a man in order to sympathize with us and intercede for us as our great High Priest.

 

Hebrews 4:14-15; 7:25 — God became a man to identify with us so that He could intercede for us.

 

Hebrews 4:14-15; 7:25 — Christ has not only been through whatever you are going through, but He is always praying to get you through.

 

Hebrews 4:14-16  Sometimes, in our times of need, we must hold fast; that is, hold on white knuckled, to our profession of faith in Christ.

 

Hebrews 4:15  Christ can feel for us in our frailties and sympathize with us in our sufferings, having wrapped Himself in a fleshy shroud and walked in our shoes during His earthly sojourn.

 

Having sinlessly endured every temptation, Christ can now empathize with every sinner in their every temptation.

 

Hebrews 4:15 — Christ was tempted in every way we are tempted, but, unlike us, He was never tripped by any temptation during His sinless trek through this sinful world.

 

Hebrews 4:15-16 — Thanks to Christ, our High Priest, who identifies with us and intercedes for us, the throne of God has become a throne of grace and a mercy seat, accessible to the desperately needy, who may boldly approach it to appeal to the Almighty for divine pity.

 

Hebrews 5:7-9 — Christ is the Author of eternal salvation to those, like Himself, who take up the cross, die to their will, and live or die to fulfill God's will. Contrary to popular opinion, there's no such thing as a crossless Christian or costless Christianity.

 

Hebrews 6:10  Although they may go unnoticed by men and be unremembered in this world, labors of love for the Lord are always noticed by Him and forever remembered in Heaven.

 

Hebrews 6:13-20 God’s sure Word, guaranteed by both the promise and vow of Him who cannot lie, not only provides us with an anchor for our souls on life’s stormy seas, but also with safe passage into the eternal safety of Heaven’s harbor.

 

Hebrews 7:25 — The only way the soul of a saint can be forfeited is if the intercession of our High Priest, whose prayers cannot fail, proves ineffectual.

 

Hebrews 8:10-11  Unlike the Old Covenant, in which God’s law was written on stone tablets and scrolls, and God was known impersonally and indirectly, in the New Covenant, God’s law is written in our minds and on our hearts, and God is known personally and intimately.

 

Hebrews 8:13  The Old Covenant, which was based on God’s law, our works, and brought about our condemnation, has been replaced by the New Covenant, which is based on God’s grace, the work of His Son, and has brought about our salvation.

 

The Old Covenant, which proved man incorrigible, has been replaced by the New Covenant, which proves man redeemable.

 

Hebrews 10:5-10 — God had to become a man and put on a mortal body in order to die and offer Himself as a once and for all sacrifice for the sin of the whole world.

 

Hebrews 10:11-12 Israel's High Priest never sat down, because his atoning work was never ending and never enough, but our High Priest, Jesus Christ, has sat down, because His atoning work is forever finished.

 

Hebrews 10:19  It is always by the redeeming blood of Jesus and never by our righteous behavior that we can come boldly into the Heavenly Holy of Holies. Our admittance into God’s presence is not made possible by anything we do, but only by what Jesus has done for us.

 

Hebrews 10:22 We can never draw near to God on the basis of our attainments, but only on the basis of Christ’s atonement. It’s a conscience cleansed by His sprinkled blood, not by our sinless behavior, that assures us of access to God and an audience with God.

 

Hebrews 10:23 To hold on to the hope of our salvation we must hold tight to our confession. Instead of being unsure and crying out to Christ, we need to be confident and confess Christ unwaveringly. It's by incessantly acknowledging Him that our assurance is made inalienable.

 

Hebrews 10:23 — Faith is not mere profession, but holding fast to our profession. Its proof is perseverance and its confirmation commitment. True faith is not just professed, but proven.

 

Hebrews 10:26-31 — To deny Christ as the world’s only Savior is to turn your nose up at God’s grace.

 

Hebrews 10:26-31 — To deny Christ as the world’s only Savior is to trample His shed blood under your feet as a trivial thing.

 

Hebrews 10:26-31 — To deny Christ as the world’s only Savior is to doom yourself to the fearful prospect of someday standing before an angry God with your nose in the air and your feet stained with the trampled blood of His beloved Son.

 

Hebrews 10:26-31 — To deny Christ as the world’s only Savior is to assure yourself of a certain and fearful judgment before a furious God whose grace you’ve spurned and whose Son you’ve scorned.

 

Hebrews 10:29 — If God spared not His own Son, but poured out on Him the full measure of His wrath for all of the sins of all time, what hope is there of God sparing those who turn their nose up at the crucified Christ and trample His precious shed blood under their feet?

 

Hebrews 10:38-39 — Wheres the true faith of saved souls is proven by the perseverance of the saints, false professions of faith by souls doomed to perdition are proven by apostasy—abandoning rather than abiding in one's Christian confession.

 

Hebrews 11:1 — Genuine faith turns hopes into realities and substantiates the truth of unseen things. It does not think so nor hope so, but it knows so!

 

Hebrews 11:1  Faith is hope in hand and sure footing when we can’t see!

 

Hebrews 11:2 — It’s faith alone that makes the grade with God! 

 

Hebrews 11:3 — It is only through faith, not through satellite imagery nor the lens of a telescope, that we can come to understand that God commanded the seen universe into existence out of unseen things.

 

Hebrews 11:3 — Instead of evolving out of nothing over eons, the universe was instantly spoken into existence by God.

 

Hebrews 11:3 — Science’s Big Bang is found in the Good Book. It was the explosive power of God’s Word that spoke the universe into existence, set it in ever-expanding motion, and has sent never-ending ripples throughout its immeasurable vast expanse.

 

All Bible believers get a “Big Bang” out of the Good Book.

Hebrews 11:3 — Science’s insoluble and universe-spawning “Big Bang” is found by faith to be the Word of God.

Hebrews 11:3 — It was the explosive power of God’s Word that spoke the universe into existence, set it in ever-expanding motion, and has sent never-ending ripples throughout its immeasurable vast expanse.

Hebrews 11:3 — Science’s Big Bang is found in the Good Book. The explosive power that brought the universe into existence, and from which it has been reverberating ever since, is the Word of God.

Hebrews 11:3 —  All Bible believers get a “Big Bang” out of the Good Book.

Hebrews 11:4 — Are you a modern-day Abel, who is enabled by faith to offer offerings acceptable to God, that result in you, the offerer, being approved by God, and that turn your oblations into abiding attestations to God?

Hebrews 11:5 — Those who have faith in God not only please God, but will ultimately be taken by God and translated into the presence of God.

 

Hebrews 11:6 — It is no more possible to please God without faith than it is to seek Him without believing in His existence or to pray to Him without believing He answers prayer.

 

Hebrews 11:6 The faith prayer requires is more than faith that God is able—that He can—or that God is willing—that He will. It is first and foremost faith that God is!

 

Hebrews 11:7 — Godly fear, which is spawned by divine forewarnings, leads to faith in God, justification with God, the salvation of one’s family, and one’s substantiation of a godless and faithless world’s condemnation.

 

Hebrews 11:8 — True faith is not concerned with where it is going, as long as it knows it is going with God, which assures it of the right destination. It doesn’t need it’s course charted in advance, but only the certainty that it has been called by God to go and will have the company of God on the way.

 

Hebrews 11:9-10 — Faith lives as a sojourner in this terrestrial world, content to live in temporal tents while on its way to permanent lodging in a celestial city, whose Builder and Maker is God. 

 

Hebrews 11:11-12 — Offspring as numerous as the stars of Heaven and the seashore’s grains of sand can be miraculously conceived when the barren soul dares to believe in the seemingly impossible promises of God.

 

Hebrews 11:13-16 — Those who possess true faith in God profess themselves to be pilgrims in this world. They’re not preoccupied with this world, but perceive themselves as merely passing through it on their way to Heaven. Consequently, the God of Heaven is not ashamed to be called the God of such heavenly-minded earthlings.

 

Hebrews 11:17-19 — True faith is willing, at God’s command, to put its most prized God-promised possession on the altar, assured of regaining it, since God promised it, even if it requires God resurrecting it.

 

Hebrews 11:20-22 — Faith is assured of the blessing of its children, of future deliverance, and of its final resting place, which explains how it can worship while wobbling on a waddy.

 

Hebrews 11:23 — True faith defies the evil edicts of ungodly government, fearing for the lives of its children rather than any governmental chastisement for its disobedience of unjust laws.

 

Hebrews 11:24-26 — True faith finds sin’s temporal pleasures appalling and Heaven’s eternal treasures appealing. The true saint will never spiritually shortchange himself by swapping his suffering of this world’s persecution for his enjoyment of this world’s short-lived sinful pleasures.

 

Hebrews 11:27 — He who possesses true faith is focused on God, who is invisible. Therefore, he is able to forsake earthly things, fearlessly face earthly tyrants, and faithfully endure all earthly trials.

 

Hebrews 11:27 To forsake the world and to fear not the wrath of its kings in doing so, one must see Him who is invisible. 

 

Hebrews 11:28-29 — True faith is convinced not only of its salvation under the blood of the Passover Lamb, but that it can also be delivered and its enemies destroyed by passing through the drowning depths of a Red Sea on dry land.

 

Hebrews 11:30 — The true faith of God’s people can flatten the walls of unmovable obstacles on their pathway to the promises of God. 

 

Hebrews 11:31 — True faith is not only proven by one providing for God’s saints, but it also protects one from perishing with godless sinners.

 

Hebrews 11:32-38 — The great heroes of the faith, of whom the world is not worthy, are not just those who perform great exploits for God, but also those who endure great perils for God!

 

Hebrews 11:39-40 — Not all of God’s promises are fulfilled in our lifetime, because God awaits to perfect all the heroes of the faith at the same time, when He finally fulfills all His promises made throughout time!

 

Hebrews 12:1-2 The Christian race is a marathon, not a sprint, and can only be run with patience by those unburdened by worldly things, unencumbered by besetting sins, and undistracted from their concentration on Christ.

Hebrews 12:5-13 — Have you come to the place where God can withdraw His favor without it weakening your faith? 

 

Hebrews 12:5-13 — We should not get shaky hands and weak-kneed under the chastening of the Lord, since it proves we’re loved by God and a child of God. Instead, we should stand up and take it, learn our lesson from it, and straighten up after it.
