Discuss Hebrews 6 Page 11

I ma not to expect a return of good that I have done from the one that I showed a kindness to. God is my rewarder of them that diligently seek him. He will reward every man me according to his work . God is not unrighteous to forget my work and labor of love from my heart. if done from a outward show you got your reward !!!!

God will always reward us. We just have to wait on his perfect timing and don 't give up or lose hope. He always stands by his Word.

this shows that your work or labour in Christ is never in vain for God is not unrighteous to forget our sweat and love in his name because our end is the glory of the Lord

Hebrews 6:12.Is telling us that we can not put GOD in a hurry to do that which HE has promised.So beloved let's learn how to wait upon the LORD.GOD BLESS.

This scripture is the basis of our Christian foundation. Our lives and beliefs are centered around this hope.

I dont understand the laying on of hands meaning i know some think its still being done today in the same pretense of healing as in the old prophets and disciples although i know all is is possible if God permits it but i dont think He does so my ? is where does it say in the Bible that this is still available today or does it i am just wanting to expand my knowledge of Gods word

This Hebrew 6:17 reiterates the faithfulness of God.God understands our frame that we are just humans. He gave us a tangible evidence so that we can believe his counsel. He swore to an oath- what a great God!

God remembers every act of love done in His name.Jesus looks on the heart and knows the intentions of the heart. He will never leave or forsake us.

I like B.J. Manuel's comment. It is very encouraging to know that the acts of loyalty I give to God are not in vain, and He is taking note of it. As verse 9 says, we are awaiting the promise of something better.

(Verse 12)"Do not let sin control the way you live; do not give in to its lustful desires." This means that after having been set free from sin, and we choose to continue in it, we place ourselves back under sin's control. That is, we loose our salvation. Hebrews 6:4 says that it is impossible to restore to faith those who have once been enlightened.

So even with our new nature, our sin nature is still with us. God will not take it away. That is, he leaves it in us to always remind us of what we have been saved from. Otherwise, we would soon forget, and think that we were always good. Or that we no longer need to be thankful for Christ saving us. This means that we have to fight against it every day. But with God's spirit we can win the fight. So as Paul says in Romans 7:25, "I thank God, the answer is in Jesus Christ our Lord."

listen,read romans 8:35-39.you will see GOD was talking about the Hebrews who went back to the old worship.Richard we all fall short,thats why GOD gives us GRACE!!!!!

this p***age implies that someone can be santcified, like in hebrews 10, and then commit apostacy after recieving the Holy Ghost and tasting his glory that can be described in Ezekiel 2:28 thus coming to know him( 2 peter 2 :20). hence you can lose your salvation.

We do not have a right to have our own thought of what the truth means in the bible so many times we want something to mean something that caters to our beliefs to justify our lives only Jesus can do that and he did that on the cross sometimes we want something to mean something beside what it really means because it goes against what we believe and says we cant do what we wanna do and go to heaven Hebrews 6 6 plainly states what it means its not a parable how do u get saved by believing confessing and repenting turning from sin so it talks about renewin again unto repentance that's plain to see not being mean but we shouldn't have to ask what it means its plainly written yes I wanna wonder cause it plainly states that I can fall away from my salvation and the only way to renew it is to crucify the old flesh to the cross again and bring me to open shame we have to confess our faults one to another and to God and he shall be just and forgive us of them

This scripture states there is an impossibility: for those who were once enlightened, who have tasted of the heavenly gift,and who were made partakers of the Holy Spirit, and have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the age to come, IF THEY SHALL FALL AWAY, to renew them again unto repentance, seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh and put him to an open shame. They heard the gospel, but did not really hear. They tasted but did not eat, they learned of God's future, but did not believe it, they partook of what the Holy Spirit offered but did not accept. These Hebrews who would or could go back to worshipping under the old covenant were showing their inferior faith. Hebrews states over and over that Jesus is better than the angels, Moses, sacrifices, etc. To be able to go back to false worship indicates they were never really believers. Jesus said, "My sheep hear my voice, and another they will not follow."

I believe every word that it says, but what it did not say was that your brothers and sisters in christ would not forget. so why does it hurt so bad to get judas kissed,or in short for what you've done to be forgotten or overlooked.maybe it's just me.

Christian faith rests on God’s perfection.

That the man who believes in God, not just his word, but also in the person of God, needs no further facts to trust. Some will wait for God, but here we see a man who 'waited with God' till the promise would be fulfilled. Even after every probable cause had been utterly done away with, when all hope was removed, his faith sprung up and grasped that which was promised. Hebrews 6:13-18; Hebrews 11:13-16.

Jesus is an eternal High Priest after the order of Melchizedek who had neither beginning of days or ending of days. Jesus the second member of the Godhead occupies three offices: Prophet, Priest, and King. Jesus is seated at the right hand of the Father, performing his High Priest duties, and He will come back as the King of Kings, and Lord or Lords. So He is not the same as Melchizedek, but like him. Study Hebrews 7:1-10 to learn more.

I understand Melchisedec was an actual literal king that helped Abraham when he returned from a battle, but does this verse use Melchisedec as Jesus Christ Our Lord? Please can anyone help thanks.

Sounds like miracles.

The sin of those in the wilderness was unbelief, this is the only unpardonable sin not homosexuality backsliding or anything else those are personal sins but unbelief is something different it is the same as calling God a liar.

@Eileen,
If you are truly born again then there is no way you can commit unpardonable, because both are mutually exclusive.
“We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not” I John 5:18. The sin that it is about here is the unpardonable. Just as its name says, unpardonable sin cannot be forgiven.
So all sin that can be forgiven is not unpardonable.
Believe me, you never committed that kind of sin.
Because as born again Christians, you and I are fortunate that through the blood of Christ, we have been excluded from committing unpardonable sin.
God bless you.

I'm still struggling to understand it because I was born-again, filled with the spirit, and thought I had committed the unpardonable sin, but Jesus forgave me! Praise His Holy Name!

The Bible tells the Truth because GOD cannot lie ( Hebrews 6:18), that can be verified, 2 Timothy 3: 16,17 and John 17:3.

Satan, the Devil, is sometimes able to make Christians feel like their labor for God is useless, unappreciated, and that they are going nowhere. This verse assures me that righteous deeds done to the glory of God the Father through Christ are never forgotten of God. They always have value with the Lord. The verse reminds me of 1Corinthians 15:58 which states, "Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord." We need to keep on plowing and planting the gospel. In God's own good time He will give a bountiful crop to His glory. It is also like God is saying "Thank You" and keep up the good work. Something wonderful is coming your way.

Answering Richards question a year ago. Richard, b carful, God is All mercifull, and we live n the dispensation of Grace, but Grace does not give u the license to Sin. There will b a line where God draws, where there's no more forgiveness, but no1 knows the exact line. These scriptures are not refering to a backslider, remember the prodical son? Sometimes we get weak, and slip up like David, but he REPENTED. Repentace means a 180 turn around from ur previous lifestyle. This scripture is refering to Homosexuals, and other Christains that were once living straight and felt and rec the Holy Ghost, and denied JESUS an a apostate, denounced God and served themselves or another god, as Budah, allah and etc....

Ben weaver, AMEN! It's not what u say, it's What u do! :)

as a kid growing up,situations arose where a friend might be lying to me ,but not sure.we would say,"HONEST TO GOD" to each other and out of a fear of GOD,would have to fess up.sound familiar?this helps me in this verse.pray im not wrong.

ask JESUS TO MAKE ME aware of the enemies strategies and give me the strength not to fall into them.i am taking special care to my thoughts as i go through the day.i dont like where my head is some of the time.especially when i rehearse in my mind what im going to say to someone.i can really get worked up over that.makes me mad i dont catch myself sooner but it gets better over time...

There are 2 books in the bible that most church leaders, preachers, and teachers had just as soon not 'go there'.. Genesis chapters 1-6; Hebrews... both can be too controversial for many.
Once one is 'born again', they are a babe in Christ.. but God does not want one to stay a babe: ( Heb 5:13For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. 14But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age,..) God wants does not want us to forget the principles of the doctrine of Christ, but He wants us to grow to maturity and perfection by studying to be doers of His Word and not hearers only.
Many do not understand ( Heb 5:4-6= 4For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, 5And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, 6If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.) Only those that come to maturity and come to know The Holy Ghost personally are in danger of blaspheming against Him. [I am speaking of those that are baptized in the Holy Ghost].
( Luke 12:10= And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven.) A babe in Christ is not going to know enough about the Holy Ghost [the third person of the Trinity] to speak evil against Him...
The more mature we are in Christ, the more Christ can use us. At the same time, the more mature we are in Christ, the more liable we are for our actions..
Anyone that 'feels' the convicting power of God dealing with them when they sin or get out of God's will, is a child of God..
A lost person can not commit the unpardonable sin; they are already lost.. only a saved person can commit this sin against the Holy Ghost...
