希伯來書 6:18-20 CUNPTS

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 6:9-20

Another exhortation to steadfastness. Each stage in the argument of the Epistle is relieved by a hortatory passage intended to confirm and cheer the Hebrews in their Christian faith. Indeed, the one duty upon Which the whole book lays stress is that of believing steadfastness. I. THE EXHORTATION . It assumes various forms. 1. " Be not sluggish. " ( Hebrews 6:12 ) The Hebrews, in the perplexity of their situation by reason of the temptations of Judaism, had begun to sink... read more

The influence of hope on Christian steadfastness. The third part of the parenthesis. To the solemn warning against apostasy he hastens to add how they can be delivered from the evil, and tells them of the power of hope on Christian steadfastness. I. THE WRITER ENCOURAGES THE CULTIVATION OF CHRISTIAN HOPE . He says he is full of hope with regard to them, and desires that they would cherish that hope for themselves. (Note: It is remarkable, if the previous verses are... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 6:13-20

The encouragements to cherish the hope of eternal life. These assume that there is a strong disposition in men to doubt the veracity of the Divine promise, and in adorable condescension God gives us ample evidence to justify our faith and perseverance. It must be confessed that the abandonment of the Jewish Law, separation from the synagogue, the surrender of earthly pleasure, and submission to manifold trials, require varied reasons to convince and to maintain the conviction of the claims... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 6:16-20

For men swear by the greater: and of every dispute of theirs (literally, to them), the oath is final (literally, an end ) for confirmation ( εἰς βεβαίωσιν being connected with πέρας , not, as in the A.V., with ὅρκος ) . Here begins the explanation of the meaning and purpose of the Divine oath, already cursorily touched on in Hebrews 6:13 . God thus, for full assurance, condescends to the form of confirmation most binding among men when they promise to each other. ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 6:17-20

The anchor of the soul. I. MAN 'S PERIL AND NEED . This is set before us in the striking words, "fleeing for refuge." There is one sort of escape by getting simply out of bondage; there is another by reaching a place of perfect security. Many a bird has escaped from a cage only to become the prey of some wild bird or beast. It has not been able to attain a refuge. The need is further suggested by the word "anchor" (see Acts 27:29 ). The shipmen fear lest the ship will fall on... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 6:19-20

Our anchor and anchorage. This text suggests, first of all, that the Christian life is a life of storm. It is exposed to storms of persecution, of doubt, of remorse, of inward corruption, of outward adversity, and to the last great storm of death. But, blessed be God, believers possess complete security in the midst of these storms. I. CHRISTIAN HOPE IS OUR ANCHOR . Of the three great abiding graces—faith, hope, love—hope is the one which often receives least prominence in... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 6:19-20

The anchor of the soul. "Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul," etc. Christians have been exhorted to imitate "them who through faith and patience inherit the promises." There are most excellent reasons for their doing so; for God's purposes and promises are most sure. They were not lightly or hastily made; they are most solemnly confirmed; they are "immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie;" and they supply the strongest encouragement to the Christian's hopes ( ... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Hebrews 6:18

That by two immutable things - What the “two immutable things” here referred to are, has been made a matter of question among commentators. Most expositors, as Doddridge, Whitby, Rosenmuller, Koppe, and Calvin, suppose that the reference is to the promise and the oath of God, each of which would be a firm ground of the assurance of salvation, and in each of which it would be impossible for God to lie. Prof. Stuart supposes that the reference is to “two oaths” - the oath made to Abraham, and... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Hebrews 6:19

Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul - Hope accomplishes for the soul the same thing which an anchor does for a ship. It makes it fast and secure. An anchor preserves a ship when the waves beat and the wind blows, and as long as the anchor holds, so long the ship is safe, and the mariner apprehends no danger. So with the soul of the Christian. In the tempests and trials of life, his mind is calm as long as his hope of heaven is firm. If that gives way, he feels that all is lost. Among... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Hebrews 6:20

Whither - To which most holy place - heaven.The forerunner - The word used here occurs nowhere else in the New Testament. A “forerunner” - πρόδρομος prodromos - is one who goes before others to prepare the way. The word is applied to light troops sent forward as scouts; Diod. Sic. 17, 17; compare “Wisdom of Solomon” (apoc) 12:8. “Thou didst send wasps, forerunners of thy host, to destroy them by little and little.” The meaning here is, that Jesus went first into the heavenly sanctuary. He led... read more
