Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Hebrews 12:18-29

God’s mercy and God’s judgment (12:18-29)There is no similarity between the experience of Israelite people under the old covenant and that of Christians under the new. Events that accompanied the giving of the law at Mount Sinai show that people saw the old covenant as something terrifying (18-21; cf. Exodus 19:12-13; Exodus 20:18-19). By contrast, Christians see the new covenant as something joyful. They are not kept at a distance from God as the Israelites were at Mount Sinai, but come right... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Hebrews 12:28

Wherefore, receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us have grace whereby we may offer service well-pleasing to God with reverence and awe: for our God is a consuming fire.There is a marked resemblance in this exhortation with that of Peter who said,Seeing that these things are thus all to be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy living and godliness, looking for and earnestly desiring the coming of the day God? (2 Peter 3:11,12).This appeal to the holiness of God... read more

Hebrews 12:28-29. Wherefore, we receiving a kingdom, &c.— "As therefore we have received such an unshaken kingdom, which shall never be removed to make way for any different establishment, and which gives to the faithful the assurance of a reign in eternal glory; Let us see to it; that we have grace, whereby we may serve God, from whom we receive it, in an acceptable manner.—As that grace is so freely offered to us in the gospel, let us not be so wanting to ourselves as to fall short of it:... read more

This is our privilege as Christians. let us have grace—"let us have thankfulness" [ALFORD after CHRYSOSTOM].

A. The Danger of Unresponsiveness (the Fifth Warning) 12:14-29The writer now turned from the hearers’ responsibility as they experienced suffering (Hebrews 12:1-13) to the peril of rejecting God who continues to speak to us through His Son using the Scriptures.

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Hebrews 12:28-29

Our kingdom is eternal. Our motive should be gratitude. Our activity should be the service of God. Our attitude toward Him should be reverence and awe in view of His ability to judge the unfaithful (cf. 1 Corinthians 3:14-15)."As a consuming fire, God purifies all that is unworthy and unacceptable in those who serve Him and all that is unfit to abide in His presence." [Note: Pentecost, A Faith . . ., p. 225.] Many readers of Hebrews associate the figure of God consuming with His judging... read more
