Please read Hebrews 6.
Meditate on verses 19-20a.
This hope we have as an anchor of the soul,
a hope both sure and steadfast
and one which enters within the veil,
where Jesus has entered as a forerunner for us …
When rain
falls, it waters an entire piece of land. The land uses the water and either
produces useful vegetation or worthless thorns and thistles. God used this
comparison to explain the work of the Holy Spirit. Every person on earth
partakes of the blessings of the Holy Spirit and tastes the good Word of God. Like
rain-watered ground, each individual chooses what to do with those blessings.
Every person must choose to either receive the blessings of God resulting in
salvation or to fall away from the truth. Refusing the Holy Spirit results in
no repentance; then, like thorns and thistles, that life is worthless, cursed,
and will end up being burned.
BUT, if your
life gives evidence of salvation, then you have full assurance of hope until
the end. The hope you have in Christ is the anchor of your soul; it is a sure
and steadfast hope because Jesus runs before you to God the Father announcing
your arrival into the presence of the LORD forever. This is truth from the Word
of God, and it is impossible for God to lie (Hebrews 6:18).
Pray Hebrews
6:11-12 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful,
prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).
“LORD,
help ________ and me show diligence in
our salvation
so as to realize the full assurance of hope
until the end.
Do not
let us be sluggish,
but help us be imitators of those who through
faith
and
patience inherit the promises.
In Your
name, Jesus~”
