REVIEW FROM LESSON 16, December 20, 2015

• Why are we to “meet together,” as we heard in Hebrews 10:25?
• Hold fast the confession
• Stir up one another in love and good works

HEBREWS 10:26 -11:3
Hebrews 10:26. For if we go on sinning deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, 27. but a fearful expectation of judgment, and a fury of fire that will consume the adversaries. 28. Anyone who has set aside the law of Moses dies without mercy on the evidence of two or three witnesses. 29. How much worse punishment, do you think, will be deserved by the one who has spurned the Son of God, and has profaned the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and has outraged the Spirit of grace? 30. For we know him who said, “Vengeance is mine; I will repay.” And again, “The Lord will judge his people.” 31. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. (Deuteronomy 32:35)

Hebrews 10:32. But recall the former days when, after you were enlightened, you endured a hard struggle with sufferings, 33. sometimes being publicly exposed to reproach and affliction, and sometimes being partners with those so treated. 34. For you had compassion on those in prison, and you joyfully accepted the plundering of your property, since you knew that you yourselves had a better possession and an abiding one. 35. Therefore do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward. 36. For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God you may receive what is promised. 37. For,
Yet a little while,
And the coming one will come and will not delay;
38. but my righteous one shall live by faith,
and if he shrinks back,
my soul has no pleasure in him.”
39. But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who have faith and preserve their souls.

Hebrews 11:1. Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. 2. For by it the people of old received their commendation. 3. By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible.

• FAITH
• ASSURANCE
• CONVICTION
• COMMENDATION
