Top Highlights
“The author sheds light on the form of Hebrews by referring to his writing as a ‘word of exhortation’ (v. 22). Hebrews is written in a pastoral voice with many practical exhortations, leading many to consider it a single sermon or sermonic discourse, addressed to converts from Judaism under pressure to revert to Jewish faith.” (Page 7)
“When Christians sin, their legal standing before God remains unchanged” (Page 80)
“what is the author attempting to demonstrate by contrasting how God previously spoke, and how God, through his” (Page 12)
“ essence of the truthfulness of Scripture rests in the immutability of God and the trustworthiness of his Word” (Page 88)
“but their fellowship with God is disrupted, their lives are damaged, and God’s Spirit is grieved” (Page 80)
