God Gave His Word in Hebrews 6:13-20
13-18 When
God made his promise to Abraham, he backed it to the hilt, putting his
own reputation on the line. He said, “I promise that I’ll bless you with
everything I have—bless and bless and bless!” Abraham stuck it out and
got everything that had been promised to him. When people make promises,
they guarantee them by appeal to some authority above them so that if
there is any question that they’ll make good on the promise, the
authority will back them up. When God wanted to guarantee his promises,
he gave his word, a rock-solid guarantee—God can’t break his word. And because his word cannot change, the promise is likewise unchangeable.
18-20 We
who have run for our very lives to God have every reason to grab the
promised hope with both hands and never let go. It’s an unbreakable
spiritual lifeline, reaching past all appearances right to the very
presence of God where Jesus, running on ahead of us, has taken up his
permanent post as high priest for us, in the order of Melchizedek.Be wise today and always - grab on and never let go of God's hope.
