Keys of Truth: Hebrews (Chapter 3)

1) We are consecrated and set apart; being called by God. Let’s thoughtfully and attentively consider Jesus, who is our Apostle and High Priest. We confess Jesus to be our own as Christians.

2) Jesus was faithful to the call of God, being appointed by God.

3) Jesus has been counted worthy of glory and honor. No man is more worthy than Jesus.

4) God is the builder and creator of the universe.

5) Jesus as the Son of God has authority over the household of God. We as believers are residents of the Father’s house.

6) As believers we must remember that we are now residents of God’s house; having confidence and joy in this truth; holding firmly to this truth with expectation until the end.

7) We are admonished; hear the voice of God through His Word today (now).

8) If we refuse to hear God’s Word, we rebel against God. If we rebel against God we will find ourselves lost and wandering.

9) The Word of God teaches that people who continually try the patience of God will be destroyed.

10) It is through the Word of God that we learn the heart and mind of God.

11) God does get angry, and those of us that anger God will experience God’s wrath.

12) There is a place of rest found in the Word of God, and it’s in this place of rest that we find the fulfillment of God’s promises.

13) We must resist anything that causes our hearts (and minds) to be evil and unbelieving; this causes us to turn away from God.

14) We must encourage one another daily, to avoid rebellion, and, the deceitfulness of sin.

15) We are all one with Jesus Christ and share in all that He has for us. We must hold on to this truth with confidence and assured expectation; being strong, firm, and unshakable.

16) Whenever we hear God’s voice (via His Word or His voice speaking to our hearts), do not rebellion against God.

17) Those of us that refuse to believe will not enter into the rest (promise) of God.

18) Our unbelief irritates, grieves, and provokes God.

19) We cannot be persuaded if we have not heard.

20) We must be willing to adhere to, and trust in, and rely on God, if we expect to see His promise.
