Hebrews

Chapter 1

Angels, God, and his son, Jesus Christ. (all of Hebrews 1)

Chapter 2

Be careful. “Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.” (Hebrews 2:1)

Jesus did it for us. “But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.” (Hebrews 2:9)

We can ask for help when we are tempted by the devil. “For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted. ” (Hebrews 2:18)

Chapter 3

God made everything! “For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God. ” (Hebrew 3:4)

Chapter 4

The Word of God is powerful.  Christians should always read their Bibles so that the Word of God will fill them and they are better protected against the word of man.  “For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” (Hebrews 4:12)

Chapter 5

Spiritual food, so to speak. “For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.” (Hebrews 5:12-14)

Chapter 6

DO NOT FALL AWAY FROM THE FAITH! “For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.” (Hebrews 6:4-6) 

Chapter 7

Talks a lot about Melchisedec. 

Chapter 8

Talks of priests.

Chapter 9

Mentions hyssop. (Hebrews 9:19)

We die and face judgment.  It is very plain.  “And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:” (Hebrews 9:27)

Chapter 10

God will judge.  “For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people. ” (Hebrews 10:30)

Chapter 11

The purest definition of FAITH. “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. ” (Hebrews 11:1) and “Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. ” (Hebrews 11:3)

Chapter 12

Whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth.  “For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.” (Hebrews 12:6-8)

“For our God is a consuming fire.” (Hebrews 12:29)

Chapter 13

Labeled on my notes as “Important Stuff.”

-“Let brotherly love continue.” (Hebrews 13:1)
-“Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.” (Hebrews 13:2)
-“Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.” (Hebrews 13:5)
-“So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.” (Hebrews 13:6)
-“Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.” (Hebrews 13:8)
-“Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.” (Hebrews 13:17)
