Hebrews 6:13-20

B. The Basis for Confidence and Steadfastness 6:13-20

Again the change in genre, this time from exhortation to exposition, signals a new literary unit within the epistle. Here the writer proceeded to expound the reliability of God’s promise to Christians through Jesus Christ’s high priestly ministry. Notice the repetition of key words introduced in Hebrews 6:12 as the exposition unfolds. This pericope contains a strong argument for the believer’s eternal security, so it is unlikely that we should understand the earlier part of the chapter as saying that we can lose our salvation.
