Keys of Truth: Hebrews (Chapter 6)

1) There are two kinds of Christian’s mentioned in the Book of Hebrews that are found in every Christian Church:
• those that remain babies in Christ (that only want milk; to feel good)
• those that mature in Christ (that want solid food, the Word that produces growth)

2) We are called to come out of all sluggishness and weakness, pressing on to the perfection that Jesus Christ has come to reveal; maturing in our understanding of God’s Word.

3) We must begin to build on the foundational truths on the Word of God. These are the six foundational truths mentioned in Hebrews Chapter 6:
The new believer receives instruction regarding: (the rudiments of the Word of Christ)
• repentance from dead works
• faith towards God

Then that which references the new believer’s public confession of faith and connection to the Church:
• the teaching of baptism
• the laying on of hands

Finally, that which relates to the future life:
• the resurrection of the dead
• eternal judgment

4) The person that has experienced God will find it difficult to repent and return to God if they walk away from Him; seeing that they crucify Jesus Christ upon the cross again, figuratively.

5) The person that experiences the falling rain of God becomes soaked and produces fruit. However, the person that experiences the same rain and produces nothing but thorns and thistles will be condemned.

6) We show love to God by helping Christians that are in need. God misses nothing, He knows perfectly well the love we show each other; what we do and why we do it.

7) God desires that we keep on loving each other as long as life lasts, believing that which we hope for will come to pass.

8) Those of us that continue to love and hope will never become spiritually dull and indifferent.

9) We are to follow the example of those that inherited the promises of God because of their faith and endurance. (for example: Abraham)

10) Because there is no one greater than God; God Himself backs His promises with His own reputation. Those of us that receive a promise from God never have to worry about Him changing His mind.

11) We must grab a hold of the promised hope, with both hands and never let go.

12) The hope that we have serves as a strong and trustworthy anchor for our souls.

13) We have an unbreakable spiritual lifeline that gives us direct access to God; there are no hindrances. Jesus as our High Priest has secured this for us; He is the eternal High Priest of Righteousness.
