HEIRS OF PROMISE

All Scripture is from NKJV unless noted. Bold font is added where needed for emphasis.  Heb 6:17   Thus God, determining to show more abundantly to the heirs of promise Catch the awesomeness of what this verse says. God loves us so much, he is determined to prove something, leaving no reasonable doubt. And to whom is all this effort directed? TO THE HEIRS OF PROMISE. We inherit, not earn. WOW! Rom 8:17      and if children, then heirs-- heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, Have you been born again? Then you were born into a new family, you have a new Father, ya gotta new Daddy!! & He created it all, owns it all, and has your best interests in mind. This is something you can believe, get a hold on & stay eternally excited about!!. Heb 6:18       that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we might have strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope set before us. Here is one of those marvelous paradoxes about the Lord we must accept by faith. God is omnipotent, yet there are things He cannot do. Ps 138:2        “…You have magnified Your word above all Your name.” He cannot go against His Word. Heb 13:8       “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever”. He cannot change. So, He can’t lie, He can’t change and He can’t violate His Word, where does that leave us? Believing in a God who is not all powerful? NO WAY.!! It leaves us in the safest place in all creation, we, “have strong consolation,” we “have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope set before us.” Heb 6:19       “This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters the Presence behind the veil.” This leaves us strong because our soul is anchored on the Blessed Hope. So many people flounder through life, living on a roller coaster, no hope, drifting wherever the winds of circumstance blow. The Christian’s soul is not tossed by these winds, but anchored on Christ the Solid Rock. Though the winds blow, we stay in our Refuge, clinging to the hope set before us. We know that our circumstances are not coincidental, but orchestrated by a Father who loves us, and is drawing us closer to Himself. He wants us to enter the Presence behind the veil." Heb 6:20       “where the forerunner has entered for us, even Jesus, having become High Priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.” John 14:6     “Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” The author concludes this awesome chapter (Hebrews 6) by showing us the road map. God wants His kids to enjoy the life He has chosen for us, not to worry as the winds of circumstance blow. We can experience this strong consolation as we simply follow Jesus. Jesus is the forerunner, Jesus is the way, Jesus provides the hope set before us. Jesus is our eternal priest, ever interceding on our behalf. Follow Him to Gethsemane; follow Him to the Cross; follow Him to the Tomb; and follow Him into RESSURRECTION LIFE, here & now!!
