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

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Hebrews 6:13

For when God made promise to Abraham - That he would bless him, and multiply his seed as the stars of heaven; Genesis 22:16-17. The object of introducing this example here is, to encourage those to whom the apostle was writing to persevere in the Christian life, This he does by showing that God had given the highest possible assurance of his purpose to bless his people, by an oath. Reference is made to Abraham in this argument, probably, for two reasons:To show the nature of the evidence which... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Hebrews 6:14

Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee - That is, I will certainly bless thee. The phrase is a Hebrew mode of expression, to denote emphasis or certainty - indicated by the repetition of a word; compare Genesis 14:23; Exodus 8:10; Joel 3:14; Judges 5:30; Judges 15:16.Multiplying I will multiply thee - I will greatly increase thee - I will grant thee an exceedingly numerous posterity. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Hebrews 6:13-15

Hebrews 6:13-15. For when God made promise, &c. As if he had said, And it appears that this is the way to partake of mercies promised, because Abraham was obliged to exercise faith and long-suffering before he obtained the accomplishment of the promise made to him. The promise here referred to, is that which God made to Abraham after he had laid Isaac on the altar, Genesis 22:16-17. For on no other occasion did God confirm any promise to Abraham with an oath. To Abraham Whose... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Hebrews 6:9-20

Encouragement to sincere believers (6:9-20)Although some who received this letter needed such solemn warnings, others had clearly shown by their changed lives that they were genuine Christians. The writer has no doubts about such people (9-10). He encourages them to keep up the good work. They are not to lose heart or become lazy, but persevere to the end (11-12).Warnings of judgment need not unsettle the believers concerning their assurance of salvation. When God promises salvation he keeps... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Hebrews 6:13

For when God made promise to Abraham, since he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself, saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee. And thus having patiently endured, he obtained the promise.For notes regarding God's swearing, see under Hebrews 3:10 and under Hebrews 6:16. The reference to Abraham is for the purpose of holding him up as an example. He was the most illustrious of the patriarchs and prophets, of whom the author had already said that his... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Hebrews 6:13-15

Hebrews 6:13-15. For when God made promise, &c.— "And a glorious confirmation you will find these promises to be, when you come to compare one spiritual object with another, and are better skilled in the method of interpreting the sacred oracles, on principles which I am going to lay down. For I may, in the first place, lead you to observe, that when God made the great and comprehensive promise to Abraham, (Genesis 12:2-3; Genesis 17:1-7.) on which so much of our hope as Christians does... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Hebrews 6:13

13. For—confirming the reasonableness of resting on "the promises" as infallibly sure, resting as they do on God's oath, by the instance of Abraham. "He now gives consolation, by the oath of God's grace, to those whom, in the second, third, and fourth chapters, he had warned by the oath of God's 'wrath.' The oath of wrath did not primarily extend its force beyond the wilderness; but the oath of grace is in force for ever" [BENGEL]. read more
