Hebrews 10:24

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Hebrews 10:24

And let us consider one another - Let us so regard the welfare of others as to endeavor to excite them to persevere in the Christian life. The idea is, that much might be done, in securing perseverance and fidelity, by mutual kind exhortation. They were not to be selfish; they were not to regard their own interests only (notes, Philippians 2:4); they were to have a kind sympathy in the concerns of each other. They had, as Christians have now, the same duties to perform, and the same trials to... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Hebrews 10:23-25

Hebrews 10:23-25. Let us hold fast the profession of our faith Or, rather, of our hope, as the most approved MSS., indeed all but one, read the clause. The apostle referred to that profession or confession of their hope of eternal life, which believers made at their baptism. For being God’s children, and heirs through faith in Christ, (John 1:12; Galatians 3:26,) they had an undoubted right to hope for the heavenly inheritance: without wavering Without giving way to any doubt or... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Hebrews 10:19-25

10:19-12:29 THE ENDURANCE OF GENUINE FAITHThe new covenant brings confidence (10:19-25)Access to God’s presence was limited under the old covenant. Only the high priest could pass through the curtain that closed the entrance to the Most Holy Place, and then only at certain times and under strict conditions. But now that Christ, by his death, has atoned for sin and opened the way to God, all God’s people are able to come before him. They can do so confidently, yet with the reverence and purity... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Hebrews 10:24

And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and good works.In a sense, the sentiment of this verse is a recurring theme in Hebrews. Again and again, the author stresses the maintenance of an enthusiastic morale in the hearts of the faithful, a subject he introduced in Hebrews 3:6,16, and to which repeated reference is made. The apostles taught that if one member of the body suffers, or is honored, all the others are likewise affected (1 Corinthians 12:26ff). Christian living is here... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Hebrews 10:11-39

III. THE HIGH PRIESTLY OFFICE OF THE SON 5:11-10:39The transition from exposition (Hebrews 4:15 to Hebrews 5:10) to exhortation (Hebrews 5:11 to Hebrews 6:20) marks the beginning of a new division in this sermon. The structure of this division is as follows. [Note: Ibid., p. 128.] a Preliminary exhortation (Hebrews 5:11 to Hebrews 6:20)A The priest who is like Melchizedek (Hebrews 7:1-28)B The single, personal sacrifice for sins (Hebrews 8:1 to Hebrews 9:28)C The achievement of eternal... read more

1. The threefold admonition 10:19-25The writer began with a three-fold admonition, which is all one sentence in the Greek text. The long sentence intensifies the writer’s appeal. [Note: Ellingworth, p. 516.] "In view of all that has been accomplished for us by Christ, he says, let us confidently approach God in worship, let us maintain our Christian confession and hope, let us help one another by meeting together regularly for mutual encouragement, because the day which we await will soon be... read more

D. The Danger of Willful Sinning (The Fourth Warning) 10:19-39From this point on in the epistle the writer made application from the great truths concerning Jesus Christ that he had now finished explaining. He followed his exposition of Jesus Christ’s superior high priestly ministry (Hebrews 6:13 to Hebrews 10:18) with exhortation, another stern warning against apostatizing, and an encouragement to remain faithful to the Lord (Hebrews 10:19-39). (Even though chapter 11 is primarily exposition,... read more

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
