希伯來書 6:6-8 CUNPTS

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 6:1-8

No standing still in religion. This thought underlies the whole passage. To pass into God's kingdom means to move with it. It is impossible to maintain a halt in the Christian life; to stand still is to fall away. I. THE DUTY OF PRESSING ON UNTO PERFECTION . ( Hebrews 6:1-3 ) This perfection is twofold: It is sinful to remain only a babe in Christ, and. to have no wish to grow. Note, that to "leave the first principles" does not mean to abandon them. Rather, we are to... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 6:4-6

For it is impossible for those who have been once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and have been made partakers of the Holy Ghost, and have tasted the good Word of God, and the powers of the world to come, and have fallen away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame. It is not, of course, implied that the Hebrew Christians had fallen into the condition thus described, or were near it; only... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 6:4-6

The relapse for which there is no restoration. "For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened," etc. Let us honestly and earnestly endeavor to lay aside our theological prepossessions, and to apprehend and set forth the meaning of this solemn portion of sacred Scripture. We have in the text— I. AN EXALTED CHRISTIAN EXPERIENCE . "Those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift," etc. Here is a cumulative experience of gospel blessings. 1. ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 6:4-6

The critical state of backsliders. Passages like this we naturally avoid. There is reluctance to face its difficulties. We dread lest a hasty admission of certain premises may lead us to terrible conclusions. But since backsliding, falling away, is a melancholy reality among believers, it is above all things needful that the possible results of backsliding should be considered. The backslider's present condition we know; but one thing we may not distinctly apprehend until it is pressed... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 6:4-8

The motives to perseverance supplied by the sin and punishment of apostasy. The outlines of the experience of some who have gone back from following Christ are very full and distinct. They include illumination, by which they were translated out of darkness into marvelous light. They had tasted of the heavenly gift of salvation, and had been justified freely by his grace. The Holy Spirit had dwelt within him. They had tasted the good Word of God in the precious promise of eternal life,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 6:4-10

The damager of apostasy arising from immature apprehension of Christian truth. Continuation of the parenthetical clause on the coil of inability to apprehend the deeper truths about Christ. Whatever this passage means, it contains nothing to discourage the true believer. 1. Because of the plain declarations that the believer cannot perish. This is not a confidence based on isolated texts, though, if any truth may rest on such, it is surely this; but it rests on the most fundamental... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 6:7-8

For land which hath drunk in the oft-coming rain upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them for whom (not, as in A.V., "by whom") it is also tilled, receiveth blessing from God; but if it beareth thorns and thistles (not, as in A.V., "that which beareth"), it is rejected, and nigh unto cursing, whose end is to be burned (literally, for burning; cf. Isaiah 44:15 , ἵνα ᾗ ἀνθρώποις εἰς καῦσιν ). The illustration is apt and close. Observe that the "land which hath... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 6:7-8

Teaching from the good land and the bad. Here is a reminiscence of the parable of the seed in the four kinds of ground. The soil becomes invested with a kind of personality. One thinks, too, of that fig tree which the Lord withered up. And it may not be so entirely fanciful, as at first it appears to give land a sort of individuality; so that one piece of soil will behave in one way, and another in another. If, for instance, there be any real basis for the reputation attaching to certain... read more

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

If they shall fall away - literally, “and having fallen away.” “There is no if in the Greek in this place - “having fallen away.” Dr. John P. Wilson. It is not an affirmation that any had actually fallen away, or that in fact they would do it; but the statement is, that “on the supposition that they had fallen away,” it would be impossible to renew them again. It is the same as supposing a case which in fact might never occur: as if we should say, “had a man fallen down a precipice it would be... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Hebrews 6:7

For the earth - The design of the apostle by this comparison is apparent. It is to show the consequences of not making a proper use of all the privileges which Christians have, and the effect which would follow should those privileges fail to be improved. He says, it is like the earth. If that absorbs the rain, and produces an abundant harvest, it receives the divine blessing. If not, it is cursed, or is worthless. The design is to show that “if” Christians should become like the barren earth... read more
