Active Faith That Preserves The Soul - Hebrews 10:26-39

Matt Lambert brings a message in Hebrews where the author continues to call his readers away from returning to the pomp of the Jewish rituals in the midst persecution. He describes the danger involved in consciously as well as actively rejecting the authority of Christ in their lives. He precedes the passage with a reminder of Christ’s work and what confidence in that work should look like in the believer’s life. Specifically, his exhortation mirrors his words in 6:1-12 warning of the apostates actions and the expected judgment. He ends the chapter with a call back to the faith that one demonstrated when first meeting Christ in hope of the promised reward. The writer follows it in chapter 11 with examples of faith from the Old Testament who “fixed their eyes” on the future promise (Jesus) of God. (Hebrews 12:1-3)
