hebrews 10:36 studylight

And, (3.) The greater part of the affections of the Christian are drawn out toward our Saviour by all this scene of sin and sorrow through which we are passing on to heaven. There is nothing here below so difficult for the natural mind; and for the simple reason that man can never rise above that which is caused. That is precisely one of the noblest thoughts of the Old Testament men of God. . This I take to be a general description of the scene of glory for which Abraham looked. Hebrews 10:36 Context Crossref Greek Verse (Click for Chapter) New International Version You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised. "The worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen" which would not be the case if it was only a dispensation "were not made of things which do appear. For ye have need of patience,. Not that they were destitute of the grace of patience; for where God is the God of all grace, he is the God of patience; and such, who are called by grace, are conformed to the image of Christ, and, among other things, are like him in this; and those who are born of the Spirit, have the fruits of the Spirit, and this, among the rest; to whom the word of God is effectual, this fruit is produced in them, that being the word of patience; and such who are brought into the kingdom of Christ, are also in the patience of Jesus; where there is one grace, there is every grace; saints are immediately called to sufferings and trials, which require patience; and, without this, there can be no enjoyment of a man's self: but the meaning is, that they needed the continuance, exercise, and increase of it; in general, to run the race set before them; to bear afflictions from the hand of God, and reproaches and persecutions from men; to wait for God, when he hides his face, and for answers of prayer, when they are deferred; and to bear up, and not to sink under temptations; and to live in the constant expectation of heaven and happiness: and, in particular, it is necessary for the following. For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry ( Hebrews 10:35-37 ). Ye have need of patience Having so great a fight of sufferings to pass through, and they of so long continuance. The meaning is, that spiritual guides shall give an account of their own behaviour in watching over other souls; for it is a work that calls for much jealousy over self, patience with others, painstaking labour, lowliness of mind, and that hearty love which can bear all, endure all, believe all. Passage Lookup: Hebrews 9:4-: general search Be assured it is of the deepest possible moment to cherish the activity of Christ's present love and care for us, the activity of that priesthood which is the subject of this epistle. And there is no further sacrifice that can be offered, of a goat or a lamb or a calf or anything else. If He is to be often offered, He must also often suffer. During a time of rebellion, she went out and lived in open adultery with the leader of the rebellion. 26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, 27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. There is no further sacrifice. There is no man who can live the Christian life and neglect the fellowship of the Church. But let not the Gentile boast, no less unbelieving no less arrogant, against true Christianity. And that is the hall of fame that I want to appear in. Unlike others in Genesis, neither parents are recorded, nor is there any hint of descent from him. To what, then, is the allusion to the sanctuary applied? To exhort one another, to exhort ourselves and each other, to warn ourselves and one another of the sin and danger of backsliding, to put ourselves and our fellow-christians in mind of our duty, of our failures and corruptions, to watch over one another, and be jealous of ourselves and one another with a godly jealousy. He is warning against these things. And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account. There was a kind of priestly tread-mill of sacrifice. "The worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins." Now, in looking at these words, two things are noteworthy. And, finally, he sums up the superiority of Christ in this, that "they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death: but he, because of his continuing for ever, hath the priesthood intransmissible." 297. iii. Barrie somewhere wrote to Cynthia Asquith: "Your first instinct is always to telegraph to Jones the nice thing Brown said about him to Robinson. Let us not abandon our meeting together--as some habitually do--but let us encourage one another, and all the more so as we see the Day approaching. May you be blessed of the Lord and strengthened in every good work for the glory of Jesus Christ. This text has been the occasion of great distress to some gracious souls they have been ready to conclude that every wilful sin, after conviction and against knowledge, is the unpardonable sin: but this has been their infirmity and error. kata sarka greek kata sarka greek. These things were only foreshadowing His coming. Here it is the grand truth itself in its own character. And I sit down and eat with God the peace offering. Verse 36. What infinite thoughts are those that God's word gives; as glorifying for Himself as elevating for our souls! She recognized him to be the prince, her husband that she had betrayed. Nothing but obedience could open the way to God; disobedience set up a barrier that no animal sacrifice could ever take away. Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.". The death of Christ is sufficient once and for all. He made nothing of himself, because he knew they were God's people. He proceeds to show the Hebrews the duties binding upon them on account of these privileges, which were conferred in such an extraordinary way, Hebrews 10:22; Hebrews 10:23, c. 1. ", The next point proved is the indisputable superiority of the Melchisedec priesthood to that of Aaron, of which the Jews naturally boasted. It is evident that in these we have the two main parts of Christianity. I can come into the presence of God through Him. He has been proved to be a divine person, and the true royal priest of whom not Aaron only but Melchisedec was the type. [2.] His deliverance was strange; still more his decision and its results. I could now be made one with God. For let me say this as a parting word, and I say it advisedly, because of circumstances that might well be before our hearts, no deliverance, however enjoyed, no place of death to law, world, or sin, no privilege of union with Christ, will enable a soul to dispense with the truths contained in this epistle to the Hebrews. It remains. The favourite thought is "development;" and so they hold a development or genesis of matter, not a creation: matter continually progressing, in various forms, until at last it has progressed into these wise men of our day. Accordingly we have the third use of the seat Christ has taken. That is often true of Christian life. You've never understood that." Hence the apostle applies the type distinctly now, as far as the "order" of the priesthood goes. Thus the cross and heavenly glory must go together. 28 He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: 29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace? To mark that as yet the veil was unrent. For he of whom these things are spoken pertaineth to another tribe, of which no man gave attendance at the altar. Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God." A good example given to others is the best and most effectual provocation to love and good works. It is not a question of the law, which a Jew might naturally conceive to be the standard of the will of God now as of old for Israel. And is he better or safer that slights the sacrifice of the Son of God, and goes back either to earthly sacrifices or to lusts of flesh, giving a loose rein to sin, which is expressly what the Son of God shed His blood to put away? A Church in such circumstances could not afford to carry members who were a bad advertisement for the Christian faith. Then we hear of "Jesus, the mediator of the new covenant" the pledge of Israel's full and changeless blessing. ( Hebrews 10:1) The law as boldly used here indicates that it is not merely certain types of offering and sacrifices, or selected regulations concerning priests, nor some limited portion of the old covenant that was abrogated by Christ, but the entire system. Best of all we can do that by setting the fine example. He exhorts them not to cast away their confidence, that is, their holy courage and boldness, but to hold fast that profession for which they had suffered so much before, and borne those sufferings so well. We belong to the holiest of all, and we act upon it, if we iet rightly, when we worship God; nay, when we draw near to God in prayer at all times. They would not even recognize them on the street as existing. Whereof the Holy Ghost also is witness to us: for after he had said before, This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their hearts, and their minds will I write them; And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more ( Hebrews 10:15-17 ). If we have to wait for the exercise at a future day, the order is as true and plain now as it ever can be. A man can stand almost any attack on his body; the thing that beats him is a broken heart. Anyone who regards the law of Moses as a dead letter dies without pity on the evidence of two or three witnesses. He says that they do not give a real image. Dillow, p. 3. The epistle sets before us the seat of glory prepared on high; the Revelation speaks of the bride represented as a glorious golden city with figures beyond nature. 38 Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. But mark another striking and instructive feature of this chapter. He is everything. It is the fact that there He sat down; but in this place it will be observed that His taking His seat there is the reward of the life of faith. They must draw near in humble adorations, worshipping at his footstool. For a similar reason we never find life treated in the epistle, nor righteousness. It is an enduring substance, it will out-live time and run parallel with eternity; they can never spend it; their enemies can never take it from them, as they did their earthly goods. In the roll of the book it is written of me. Verse 37. They do not believe that God called all things into being. He is thinking of the Second Coming of Christ when things as we know them will be ended. Hebrews Series (10:26-36) Based upon Ron Philips book "Hebrews: Finding the Better Way" June 10, 2014 Chester FBC Chester, IL Dr. Mike Fogerson, Speaker Introduction: A Tonight, we will discover the fourth of five warnings given .read more Scripture: Hebrews 10:26-36 Denomination: Baptist Turning Back Unto Destruction This deeply interesting chapter closes with the reason why those who had thus not only lived but died in faith did not get the promise: "God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect." There is a wholeness about the life of Jesus that perhaps we ought to give more thought. As the crier stepped forth, he said, "Hear ye, hear ye, the decision of the supreme council." Others doubtless could speak of their Ararat, their Olympus, their Etna; but which boasted of the true God that loved His people in the way that Zion could? Sin separates man from God. [Note: Lane, Hebrews 9-13, p. Read full chapter Hebrews 10:36 in all English translations Hebrews 9 Hebrews 11 New International Version (NIV) When the apostle Paul, speaks of "the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem," he means the scene of future heavenly blessedness; whereas when John speaks of the new Jerusalem descending out of heaven from God, he means, not where but what we are to be. Before that he served as director and teacher at Calvary Chapel Bible College, Germany, following more than 20 years of pastoral ministry. Once Christ had come, the awfulness of sin lay not in its breaking of the law but in its trampling of the love of Christ under foot. As they are companions, so do they test a walk with God; one is faith, the other is suffering. In the most admirable manner he proves that this was what God was all along waiting for. They must first do the will of God before they receive the promise; and, after they have done the will of God, they have need of patience to wait for the time when the promise shall be fulfilled; they have need of patience to live till God calls them away. Obey your leaders, and submit yourselves; for they watch for your souls, as those that shall give account." For there is seen not only the proof that the Messiah is the One whom God pronounced by an oath "a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec," but the glorious seat He has taken at the right-hand of God is now worked into this magnificent pleading. That is why he says as he enters the world: "You did not desire sacrifice and offering; it is a body you have prepared for me. "In the volume of the book it is written of me" a book which none ever saw but God and His Son. Man was tried by all sorts of tests from time to time God knew perfectly well, and even declared here and there, the end from the beginning; but He would make it manifest to every conscience, that all He got from man in these His varied dealings was sin. All scripture, at its deepest, declares that the only sacrifice God desires is obedience; and in the life and death of Jesus that is precisely the sacrifice that God received. They have counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing; that is, the blood of Christ, with which the covenant was purchased and sealed, and wherewith Christ himself was consecrated, or wherewith the apostate was sanctified, that is, baptized, visibly initiated into the new covenant by baptism, and admitted to the Lord's supper. 32 But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye were illuminated, ye endured a great fight of afflictions; 33 Partly, whilst ye were made a gazingstock both by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, whilst ye became companions of them that were so used. They could not understand how it was they should come into greater trouble than before. Now is the time for self-denying labour, and endurance in grace; by-and-by the account must be given to the Lord that appointed them. . He will have nothing more to do with sin. If we formed our Christian character practically on such epistles as those to the Ephesians and Colossians alone, depend on it there may not be the hard lines of the law, but there will be very far from the fervent affections which become him who feels the grace of Christ. The apostle now resumes his great theme, Christ called a Priest of God for ever after the order of Melchisedec. If one lives by faith during times of duress, then he will receive reward from God. He acted in faith, not policy. [2.] The fact is, that love of uniformity may mislead some, as love of variety misled our English translators too often. As he exhorts here the Jews to persevere, he mentions hope rather than faith; for as hope is born of faith, so it is fed and sustained by it to the last. The day of the Lord will come. He had shown the work of Christ and His coming again in glory. 'It was therefore a crisis after the most painful accumulation of evils that weighed on the heart of Israel. "Inasmuch as not without an oath he was made priest: (for those priests were made without an oath" no oath ushers in the sons of Aaron "but he with an oath by him that said as to him, The Lord sware and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec:) by so much was Jesus made a surety of a better covenant.". Once He came they were no longer necessary, no longer necessary to have the shadows, for we now have the substance in Jesus. 3. He is "minister of the holies and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not of man." David has been happy to be part of the Blue Letter Bible . And then, in the centre of all, we have God Himself. Don't you see what a sacred thing it is?" ; also Hebrews 4:14) of our hope without wavering (, agreeing with "confession"); for he is faithful that promised: and let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works; not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one . It is not so much the power but the love of God which must conquer in the end. But meanwhile, confessedly, the Spirit of God directs attention, not to the exercise, but to the order of the Melchisedec Priest. Hebrews 10:23 2 nd "Let Us" [Heb 10:23 KJV] 23 Let us hold fast the profession of [our] faith (hope) without wavering; (for he [is] faithful that promised;) Hope is important in the new and better covenant. Let us next apply the word "covenant" here, and you will soon see the insuperable difficulties into which you are plunged. Patience and perseverance are nearly the same. He awaits the final subjugation of his enemies; in the end there must come a universe in which he is supreme. God then has provided some better thing for us. For not merely did David receive from Jehovah that throne, but never were the people of God lifted out of such a state of distress and desolation, and placed on such a height of firm and stable triumph as under that one man's reign. 10:11-18 Again, every priest stands every day engaged upon his service; he stands offering the same sacrifices over and over again, and they are sacrifices of such a kind that they can never take away sins. Those who will not enter in this way exclude themselves for ever. (Even though chapter 11 is primarily exposition, it is full of application.) I am not going to enter into any statement of facts as to this now, but there is no truth in its own place more important than that with which the apostle commences in this chapter, namely, that "through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God." They made what they called the kophar for sins. Even under the old covenant rebellion met with death. In my judgment it is correct to translate it both ways, never arbitrarily, but according to context. "And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: so Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.". (2.) He is describing, then, the indwelling of Christ by the Spirit, the recognition of an indwelling Christ who offers to clothe himself with our personality and is prepared to live his life over again in our circumstances, right where we are. If by five o'clock this evening you do not go to the door on your right and enter that door declaring to all within the kingdom that from now on you will be a faithful and devoted wife, then the door on your left will be opened and the death which he almost died to save you from will come upon you, and this time without any hope of escape. . He faced it all with gallantry and emerged erect and unbroken. The apostle earnestly insists on them both. The exhortation is based on a number of considerations, among which are these: (1) We have a great high priest who has opened up the new and living way through the veil, that is to say, his flesh. He that despised Moses' law [that is, the first covenant that has been set aside] died without mercy under two or three witnesses ( Hebrews 10:28 ): Very severe punishment, capital punishment for those who despised the first covenant that God established through Moses. But it is . (4.) Thus does the apostle reason on it: "For if the blood of bulls and goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh" (which the Jew would not contest): "how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to do religious service to the living God? There were five offerings that were made in the Old Testament. David cried out, "Oh how happy is the man whose transgressions are forgiven. In full assurance of faith, with a faith grown up to a full persuasion that when we come to God by Christ we shall have audience and acceptance. I am not aware that it is, nor do I believe that it could be, ever used in such a sense as "covenanting victim," for which some contend. He presses the fact of a new principle, as well as an institution established on better promises, upon the Jews. he's pointing out these offerings cannot take away sins. evil, learn to do good" ( Isaiah 1:11-20). There is nothing to divert the heart from Christ, the great High Priest in the heavens. He alludes to several facts, but leaves them. (ii) We must worship together. That is a difficult thought, but what he means is this. He understands our weaknesses: "Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has ascended into heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. ( Heb 10:29) The Mosaic covenant was ratified with blood; and with that blood both the tabernacle with all its vessels, and the people who worshipped before it, were sanctified, and set apart as holy to the Lord. We have the church, but even when the expression "church" occurs, it is the church altogether vaguely, as inHebrews 2:12; Hebrews 2:12, or viewed in the units that compose it not at all in its unity. Those who will live godly in Christ Jesus must suffer persecution. But the apostle lets them know that if they understood their true blessing, this was the very part of it that was inseparably bound up with their present nearness to God, as set forth typically by the central and most important rite of the Jewish system. Hence the right hand of the throne is introduced, but, besides, "of the Majesty in the heavens." And again, pointing not to our faithfulness, but the faithfulness of God. How dreadful is the case when not only the justice of God, but his abused grace and mercy call for vengeance! This is the meaning of the blood carried within, and of the body burnt without. Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me) to do thy will, O God." We can do it by reminding others of their traditions, their privileges, their responsibilities when they are likely to forget them. What fellowship hath light with darkness? Let him learn his error. 39 But we do not belong to those who shrink back and are destroyed, but to those who have faith and are saved. The sacrifice acceptable to, God is a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, thou, "For I desire steadfast love and not sacrifice, the knowledge. Christians ought to value their reputation; and they do so especially because the reputation of religion is concerned: this makes reproach a great affliction. He doesn't have to be crucified over and over. "Your identification with Christianity really cost you a lot," and it did. It meant that a man was taking something dear to him and giving it to God to show his love. And this blessed person, single-handed but according to the will of God, accomplishes that will in offering Himself on the cross. Then comes forth the wondrous counsel that was settled before either the sin of man, or the promises to the fathers, or the law which subsequently put man to the test. There must be the death of him who so disposes of his property in order that the heir should take it under his testament. They really mar the sense, because they draw attention not to the truth in itself so much as its application to us, which is not the point in Hebrews 9:1-28, but rather ofHebrews 10:1-39; Hebrews 10:1-39. The apostle concludes with declaring his good hope concerning himself and these Hebrews, that they should not forfeit the character and happiness of the just, and fall under the brand and misery of the wicked (Hebrews 10:39; Hebrews 10:39): But we are not, c. as if he had said, "I hope we are not of those who draw back. The one is what may be called the objective glory; the other is the subjective condition of those that compose the bride, the Lamb's wife. He begins by saying three things about Jesus. As in chapter 6 he declares that he is persuaded better things of them, than that they would abandon the Holy Ghost; so here he expected better things than that they would thus dishonour the sacrifice of Christ In that case, he says, God was not unrighteous to forget their work and labour of love; in this case, he lets them know that he had not forgotten the way in which they had suffered for Christ. He is my mediator. "Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp." "Who needeth not daily," therefore says He, "as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's." There are certain surroundings which indicate to the competent eye when the word "covenant" is right and when the word "testament" is better. They must draw near in all holy conversation, like Enoch walking with God.
