Stay Close to Jesus in Everything

Listen to the Hebrews daily devotional below!

Begin with prayer

Dr. McGee said, “We are living in the day of the ministry of the Holy Spirit, the day of grace, when the Spirit of God takes the things of Christ and reveals them to us.” Before you start each lesson, ask the Lord to use it to grow you up in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ as He is revealed in that section. Dr. McGee said, “This is the secret of life and of Christian living.”

4. What things has God given us that can help prevent us from falling away from the faith?

5. Again and again, we see in Hebrews that mature believers are those who are faithful. Who is there in your life that is an example of faithfulness you can follow?
