Hebrews
3 Groups And 5 Warnings
The author of The Book of Hebrews is unknown.
The Book of Hebrews addresses 3 groups and 5 warnings are given in the epistle.
First, here are the three separate groups:
believers in Christ, unbelievers who had knowledge of and an intellectual acceptance of the facts of Christ, and unbelievers who were attracted to Christ, but who rejected Him ultimately.
It’s important to understand which group is being addressed in which passage. To fail to do so can cause us to draw conclusions inconsistent with the rest of Scripture.
The writer to the Hebrews constantly compares the inadequacies of the Old Testament sacrificial system to the perfection and completion in Christ.
Rich in foundational Christian doctrine, the Epistle to the Hebrews also gives us encouraging examples of God’s "faith heroes" who persevered in spite of great difficulties and adverse circumstances (Hebrews 11).
These members of God’s “Faith Hall of Fame”provide overwhelming evidence as to the unconditional surety and absolute reliability of God. Likewise, we can maintain perfect confidence in God’s rich promises, regardless of our circumstances, by meditating upon the rock-solid faithfulness of God’s workings in the lives of His Old Testament saints.
Now let’s talk about the 5 solemn warnings we must heed in the book of Hebrews.
There is:
the danger of neglect (Hebrews 2:1-4),
the danger of unbelief (Hebrews 3:7–4:13),
the danger of spiritual immaturity (Hebrews 5:11–6:20),
the danger of failing to endure (Hebrews 10:26-39), and
the inherent danger of refusing God (Hebrews 12:25-29).
And so we find in this crowning masterpiece a great wealth of doctrine, a refreshing spring of encouragement, and a source of sound, practical warnings against slothfulness in our Christian walk.
But there is still more, for in Hebrews we find a magnificently rendered portrait of our Lord Jesus Christ—the Author and Finisher of our great salvation (Hebrews 12:2).
