hebrews-10:35

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Hebrews 10:1-99

Hebrews 10 IN THE PASSAGE now before us both these contrasts reappear, but coupled with them is a third the supreme glory of Him who became the sacrifice, as contrasted with both priests and offerings of old. We see Him stepping out of eternity that He might accomplish the will of God in the work that He did. The passage starts with the reminder that the law with its shadow sacrifices could NEVER make the worshippers perfect. It ends with the glorious statement that the offering of Christ ... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Hebrews 10:26-39

Beware of Backsliding Hebrews 10:26-39 The willful sin here referred to does not consist in isolated acts, but in a determined course of action, persisted in until the very desire for a better life wanes and dies out of the soul. These strong remonstrances were needed in those days of sore persecution. Three considerations are adduced, urging steadfastness: (1.) The certain punishment which must follow on the rejection of the greatest gifts that God can make, so much richer than anything... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Hebrews 10:1-39

The writer now deals with the subject of the better worship. In this connection he again quotes from the prophecy of Jeremiah in order to emphasize the prediction of the new covenant concerning the forgiveness of sins. Through this offering and sacrifice of Christ, the worshipers are brought into a relationship with God in which there is no more consciousness of sin, but, instead, a delight to do God's will, and so is fulfilled the second part of Jeremiah's prediction., The provision made in... read more

‘Do not therefore cast not away your boldness, which has great recompense of reward, for you have need of patient endurance, that, having done the will of God, you may receive the promise.’ So he begs them not to be moved by the present uncertainties, Not to toss away their boldness as previously revealed in how they had faced persecution, because now counting it as worthless.

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 10:35-39

Hebrews 10:35-Malachi : . With the past in mind they are to maintain their former constancy, knowing that it will not be in vain. Their great need, as the whole epistle is meant to teach them, is the power of endurance, enabling them to wait on for the fulfilment of the promise given them by God ( Hebrews 10:35 f.). And the time of waiting will not be long. The day foretold in Scripture ( Habakkuk 2:3 f.) is close at hand, when the Coming One will appear, and those who have been faithful... read more

Cast not away therefore your confidence: this introduceth the last direction for helping on their perseverance in Christianity. Μη αποβαλλητε denieth all degrees of apostacy, from secret undervaluing to an utter renouncing, not to slight, despise, or reject; they had endured already so much as might steel and fortify them against what remained, and implieth the bold, resolute, and courageous retention, Ephesians 6:10,Ephesians 6:16, of the boldness of their confession of the Christian faith.
