Without Wavering
Without Wavering
Hebrews 6:12 (NASB)
12 “So that you will not be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.”
The book of Hebrews was especially written to veteran Christians who were battling new threats and troubles (see Hebrews 10:32-36). The writer kept pointing his readers to God’s powerful promises, which we can claim for ourselves just as personally as the original readers. Here are three of them:
- The Promise of His Care: “Therefore He is able also to save forever those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them” (Hebrews 7:25 NASB).
- The Promise of His Coming: “FOR YET IN A VERY LITTLE WHILE, HE WHO IS COMING WILL COME, AND WILL NOT DELAY” (Hebrews 10:37 NASB).
- The Promise of His Company: “…I WILL NEVER DESERT YOU, NOR WILL I EVER FORSAKE YOU” (Hebrews 13:5 NASB)
Hebrews 10:23 says, “Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.” Hebrews is also the book that reminds us the just will live by faith (Hebrews 10:38). Every book of the Bible contains great and mighty promises—especially Hebrews—and we need every promise God has given us so we can stand and look up without wavering.
Charles Spurgeon said, “Stand fast, without wishing for another trust, and without wavering in the trust you have.”
