Are you looking to try God? An unbelieving heart separates itself from God

HEBREWS CHAPTER THREE VS. 1-6 (USING KING JAMES STUDY TEXT, STUDY BOOK WILL REFERENCE A DIFFERENT VERSION FOR READING) Heb 3:1   Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;  Heb 3:2   Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house .  Heb 3:3   For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honour than the house.  Heb 3:4   For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God.  Heb 3:5   And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after;  Heb 3:6   But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.  3:1-6    Main Point: Jesus is worthy of more honor than Moses.                1.   

HEBREWS CHAPTER TWO VS. 14-18 Heb 2:14   Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;  Heb 2:15   And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.  Heb 2:16   For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham.  Heb 2:17   Wherefore in all things it behooved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.  Heb 2:18   For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to help them that are tempted.    2:14-18 Main Point: Reconciliation through Jesus is achieved through an understanding high priest…merciful, faithful, because he was one of us physically. 6. Why did Christ have to be made like His b

HEBREWS CHAPTER TWO VS. 10-13 Heb 2:10   For it became him , for whom are all things, and by whom are all things , in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings .  Heb 2:11   For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one : for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren ,  Heb 2:12   Saying , I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee.  Heb 2:13   And again , I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me .  2:10-13 Main Point: Jesus has unified mankind with himself, and in turn mankind with God (through sanctification) 4. What is meant by the fact that Jesus was made “perfect through sufferings”?

HEBREWS CHAPTER TWO VS. 5-9 (USING KING JAMES STUDY TEXT, STUDY BOOK WILL REFERENCE A DIFFERENT VERSION FOR READING) Heb 2:5   For not unto angels did he subject the world to come , whereof we speak.  Heb 2:6   But one hath somewhere testified, saying, What is man , that thou art mindful of him? Or the son of man , that thou visitest him?   Heb 2:7   Thou madest him a little lower than the angels ; Thou crownedst him with glory and honor , And didst set him over the works of thy hands :   Heb 2:8   Thou didst put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he subjected all things unto him, he left nothing that is not subject to him. But now we see not yet all things subjected to him.  Heb 2:9   But we behold him who hath been made a little lower than the angels, even Jesus , because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor , that by the grace of God he should taste of death for every man .  2:5-9    Main Point: Jesus was like us

HEBREWS CHAPTER TWO VS. 1-4 Heb 2:1   Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things that were heard , lest haply we drift away from them .  Heb 2:2   For if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast , and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward;  Heb 2:3   how shall we escape , if we neglect so great a salvation ? which having at the first been spoken through the Lord , was confirmed unto us by them that heard ;  Heb 2:4   God also bearing witness with them , both by signs and wonders, and by manifold powers, and by gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to his own will .  2:1-4  Main point: If this is from God, and Jesus is God you’d better pay attention to the offer of salvation. If you ignore it, how will you escape (judgment implied)? Additional Notes: Chapter one relates the importance (power) of the speaker – establishes authority. This chapter continues the thought and applies the gravity of the cons

HEBREWS CHAPTER ONE VS. 5-14 (KING JAMES STUDY TEXT, STUDY BOOK WILL REFERENCE A DIFFERENT VERSION READING TEXT) PRELUDE: There are some studies in first century cultures and their attitudes towards angels. Suffice it to say that the cultural view of some towards angels was to honor them. Some studies have concluded actual angel worship, some of which has been debated and shown to be possibly erroneous. Israel’s attitude/knowledge of angels throughout biblical history: Gen 18:2   and he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood over against him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself to the earth (the promise of a son to Abraham, and the judgement against Sodom) David illustrates the hierarchal position of man/angels: Psa 8:5   For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels ,   ( gods) Dan 9:21   yea, while I was speaking in prayer, the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being ca
