Hebreos 10:25, Mateo 16:18 NVI

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Hebrews 10:23-25

We should not only exercise faith (Hebrews 10:22) but also hope (Hebrews 10:23) and love (Hebrews 10:24). The admonition to hold fast to our hope is the one the writer emphasized most strongly in this epistle. It is an exhortation to perseverance. The basis of our steadfastness is the fact that God is faithful to His promises concerning our future.The third admonition (Hebrews 10:24) moves from the vertical to the horizontal dimension of Christian living. This admonition to love one another,... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 10:1-39

Sacrifice Complete in the Fulfilment of God’s Will. The Open Way to GodRecapitulation and close of the argument. The sacrifices of the Law were ineffective to cleanse the conscience, as shown by their continual repetition (Hebrews 10:1-4). In the mind of God they were temporary. But the offering of Christ is a sacrifice that accomplishes the will of God and consecrates us as the people of a new covenant (Hebrews 10:5-10). That it is efficacious and final is also proved by the session of Christ... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Hebrews 10:25

(25) As the manner of some is.—Some members of this community, it would seem, had persuaded themselves that the relation of Judaism to Christianity, of the “synagogue” (the Greek word here used seems to allude to this technical name, and yet intentionally to avoid it) and the Church, was such as to permit them to avoid close intercourse with Christians and direct association with Christian assemblies. This neglect was the first step towards apostasy.Exhorting.—Better, encouraging. (Comp.... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Hebrews 10:1-39

Hebrews 10:4 To a modern these words have an antiquated sound. The world of ideas which they suggest has passed so entirely away that we look back upon the stage they represent as a stage far below us, so far, indeed, that it is barely conceivable. But they were originally the apex of a long ascent The quiet decisiveness and even scorn with which the writer sets down this conviction breathe a feeling of relief, after the long centuries of persistent and unavailing sacrifices. Humanity is... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Hebrews 10:19-39

CHAPTER IX.AN ADVANCE IN THE EXHORTATION."Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holy place by the blood of Jesus, by the way which He dedicated for us, a new and living way, through the veil, that is to say, His flesh; and having a great Priest over the house of God; let us draw near with a true heart in fulness of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our body washed with pure water: let us hold fast the confession of our hope that it waver not; for... read more

Geneva Study Bible - Hebrews 10:25

10:25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some [is]; but exhorting [one another]: {8} and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.(8) Having mentioned the last coming of Christ, he stirs up the godly to the meditation of a holy life, and cites the faithless fallers from God to the fearful judgment seat of the Judge, because they wickedly rejected him in whom only salvation consists. read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 10:1-39

The attentive reader cannot but notice the thoroughness with which this subject is treated in these chapters. It is a matter of profound importance, basic as regards any true knowledge of God, and as to approaching the presence of God. Law could not give any such revelation. "For the law, having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually, make the comers thereunto perfect. For then would... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Hebrews 10:19-39

TRIUMPHS OF FAITH This lesson covers one of the many digressions alluded to and is first, an exhortation (Hebrews 10:19-25 ); secondly, a warning (Hebrews 10:26-31 ), and thirdly, an expression of comfort (Hebrews 10:32-39 ). This last touches on the principle of faith and gives occasion for an exhibition of its triumph in the lives of the Old Testament saints that makes the 11th chapter rank with the most notable in the Bible. The exhortation (Hebrews 10:19-25 ) keeps in mind that these... read more
