Hebrews: Christ Is Greater and BetterSample

In the Hands of God Read Hebrews 10:19-39 What the apostates did and thereby called judgment on themselves, we must not do. What the apostates did not do, we must do. Let the former be a warning and the latter be our motivation. Take note of the four ‘let us’ in verses 22-25 and act on them regularly. The 'new and living way' is already opened to us. We are able to discern that we are now living in the ‘last days’ and we are given every knowledge of the things that we must do and the things that we must not do. The apostates rejected God’s truth (vs 26-28); spurned God’s Son (verse 29a) and despised God’s Spirit (v 29b). We must take heed and be steadfast and joyful in suffering (vs 32b, 34). This is in line with God’s will. As we continue in such a manner, we must always remind ourselves that the Lord is not slow in keeping His promises (v 37b, B512 Peter 3:9). We also must realize that despite all the trials that befall us, it is primarily faith that pleases God (v 38b). We have believed and are saved. Now we obey because we have been saved. We are always in the hands of God. May we always discern the hands of God in our life knowing all the time that His mercy is great (2 Samuel 24:14).
