Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Hebrews 10:24

And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and good works.In a sense, the sentiment of this verse is a recurring theme in Hebrews. Again and again, the author stresses the maintenance of an enthusiastic morale in the hearts of the faithful, a subject he introduced in Hebrews 3:6,16, and to which repeated reference is made. The apostles taught that if one member of the body suffers, or is honored, all the others are likewise affected (1 Corinthians 12:26ff). Christian living is here... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Hebrews 10:25

Not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another; and so much the more, as ye see the day drawing near.CONCERNING THE ASSEMBLYOur own assembling together is a reference to the Lord's day worship of the church, the regular Sunday services of congregations of believers, as set in motion by the apostles, honored by disciples in all ages, and fully recognized as a sacred obligation for all Christians by the author of Hebrews who penned this formal... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Hebrews 10:25

Hebrews 10:25. Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves— The word επισυναγωγη, rendered assembling together, is used but once more in the New Testament, and there it signifies the gathering together unto Christ at the day of judgment, or our being gathered to him at that time; but here it seems rather to refer to public and private meetings or congregations of Christians. The apostleexhorts the Hebrews to frequent such voluntary assemblies; not to fail making the right use of them, by... read more

Here, as elsewhere, hope and love follow faith; the Pauline triad of Christian graces. consider—with the mind attentively fixed on "one another" (see on :-), contemplating with continual consideration the characters and wants of our brethren, so as to render mutual help and counsel. Compare "consider," Psalms 41:1; Hebrews 12:15, "(All) looking diligently lest any fail of the grace of God." to provoke—Greek, "with a view to provoking unto love," instead of provoking to hatred, as is too... read more

25. assembling of ourselves together—The Greek, "episunagoge," is only found here and 2 Thessalonians 2:1 (the gathering together of the elect to Christ at His coming, 2 Thessalonians 2:1- :). The assembling or gathering of ourselves for Christian communion in private and public, is an earnest of our being gathered together to Him at His appearing. Union is strength; continual assemblings together beget and foster love, and give good opportunities for "provoking to good works," by "exhorting... read more

III. THE HIGH PRIESTLY OFFICE OF THE SON 5:11-10:39The transition from exposition (Hebrews 4:15 to Hebrews 5:10) to exhortation (Hebrews 5:11 to Hebrews 6:20) marks the beginning of a new division in this sermon. The structure of this division is as follows. [Note: Ibid., p. 128.] a Preliminary exhortation (Hebrews 5:11 to Hebrews 6:20)A The priest who is like Melchizedek (Hebrews 7:1-28)B The single, personal sacrifice for sins (Hebrews 8:1 to Hebrews 9:28)C The achievement of eternal... read more

1. The threefold admonition 10:19-25The writer began with a three-fold admonition, which is all one sentence in the Greek text. The long sentence intensifies the writer’s appeal. [Note: Ellingworth, p. 516.] "In view of all that has been accomplished for us by Christ, he says, let us confidently approach God in worship, let us maintain our Christian confession and hope, let us help one another by meeting together regularly for mutual encouragement, because the day which we await will soon be... read more

D. The Danger of Willful Sinning (The Fourth Warning) 10:19-39From this point on in the epistle the writer made application from the great truths concerning Jesus Christ that he had now finished explaining. He followed his exposition of Jesus Christ’s superior high priestly ministry (Hebrews 6:13 to Hebrews 10:18) with exhortation, another stern warning against apostatizing, and an encouragement to remain faithful to the Lord (Hebrews 10:19-39). (Even though chapter 11 is primarily exposition,... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Hebrews 10:23-25

We should not only exercise faith (Hebrews 10:22) but also hope (Hebrews 10:23) and love (Hebrews 10:24). The admonition to hold fast to our hope is the one the writer emphasized most strongly in this epistle. It is an exhortation to perseverance. The basis of our steadfastness is the fact that God is faithful to His promises concerning our future.The third admonition (Hebrews 10:24) moves from the vertical to the horizontal dimension of Christian living. This admonition to love one another,... read more

Sacrifice Complete in the Fulfilment of God’s Will. The Open Way to GodRecapitulation and close of the argument. The sacrifices of the Law were ineffective to cleanse the conscience, as shown by their continual repetition (Hebrews 10:1-4). In the mind of God they were temporary. But the offering of Christ is a sacrifice that accomplishes the will of God and consecrates us as the people of a new covenant (Hebrews 10:5-10). That it is efficacious and final is also proved by the session of Christ... read more
