Berean Study Bible A Call to MaturityThe writer calls believers to build upon the foundational instruction they had received concerning Christ’s person, saving work, and fulfillment of God’s promises. Leaving the beginning does not mean rejecting it; Christ remains the unchanging foundation. Hebrews 5:11–14 had exposed their need for spiritual growth, since prolonged dependence on basic instruction had hindered discernment and endurance. Heb 5:12-13 Although by this time you ought to be teachers,… and go on to maturity, Spiritual maturity involves a settled grasp of God’s revelation in His Son and the ability to distinguish truth from error, good from evil. Believers mature as they receive the full counsel of God, persevere in obedience, and learn to rest in Christ’s once-for-all sacrifice. Such growth was especially necessary for readers facing pressure to retreat from Christian confession. Heb 5:14 But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use… not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, Repentance marks the beginning of conversion, turning a sinner from works that bring death and cannot cleanse the conscience. Dead works include sinful deeds as well as religious efforts offered apart from faith in Christ. Hebrews later declares that Christ’s blood cleanses believers from dead works so that they may serve the living God (Hebrews 9:14). Repentance remains essential, but it must lead into a life of faithful service rather than continual return to the starting point. Heb 9:14 how much more will the blood of Christ,… and of faith in God, Faith in God receives His mercy, trusts His promises, and rests in the salvation He has provided through His Son. Genuine faith is not merely agreement with foundational truths; it produces perseverance, obedience, and confidence in God amid suffering. The readers were called to deepen that faith as they pressed forward toward the fullness of life found in Christ. Mrk 11:22 “Have faith in God,” Jesus said to them. instruction about baptisms, Jewish ceremonial washings prepared worshipers for participation in the covenant community and pointed to the need for cleansing from defilement and sin (Leviticus 16:4; Numbers 19:7). John’s baptism called Israel to repentance in preparation for the Messiah (Matthew 3:11). Christian baptism testifies to union with Christ in His death and resurrection and publicly identifies the believer with Him (Romans 6:3–4; Matthew 28:19). Heb 9:10 They consist only in food and drink and special washings…… the laying on of hands, God’s people laid hands on individuals for blessing, commissioning, sacrifice, healing, and recognition of spiritual service (Genesis 48:14; Numbers 27:18–23; Leviticus 16:21). The apostles also laid hands on believers in connection with prayer, ministry, and the receiving of the Holy Spirit (Acts 8:17; 13:2–3). The practice affirmed that ministry and spiritual gifts belong to God and are exercised within the fellowship and order of the church. Act 8:17 Then Peter and John laid their hands on them,… the resurrection of the dead, Scripture promises a real, bodily resurrection for all people. Daniel foretold that those sleeping in the dust would rise, some to everlasting life and others to shame (Daniel 12:2). Jesus’ resurrection is the firstfruits and guarantee of the resurrection of all who belong to Him when He returns (1 Corinthians 15:20–23; 1 Thessalonians 4:16–17). Christian hope rests not upon escape from the body but upon Christ’s victory over death. Jhn 5:28-29 Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming… and eternal judgment. Every person will stand before God, whose judgment is righteous, final, and eternal (Matthew 25:31–46; Revelation 20:11–15). Those whose names are written in the book of life will enter eternal life, while those who reject God’s grace will bear the consequences of sin. The certainty of judgment reveals the seriousness of the gospel and directs sinners to the saving work of Christ. Mat 25:46 And they will go away into eternal punishment,… And this we will do, The writer intends to lead his readers beyond the elementary foundations of repentance, faith, baptisms, laying on of hands, resurrection, and judgment toward mature understanding and faithful obedience. Spiritual growth belongs to the whole body of Christ, as believers strengthen one another in truth and love (1 Corinthians 12:12–27). Php 3:13-14 Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold… if God permits. Growth in knowledge and perseverance depends upon God’s sustaining grace and providential will. Believers make plans and labor faithfully, yet they submit every purpose to the Lord, who directs their steps (Proverbs 16:9; James 4:15). The coming warning against falling away underscores the urgency of responding obediently while God grants opportunity to hear and follow His Word. 1Co 16:7 For I do not want to see you now only in passing;… It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, The light of the gospel had broken into their former darkness, bringing clear knowledge of Christ, His sacrifice, and the new covenant. For Jewish believers facing pressure to return to the temple system, rejecting Jesus after receiving such light meant turning from the fulfillment of the Law and the Prophets. Heb 10:32 Remember the early days that you were in the light.… who have tasted the heavenly gift, They had personally encountered God’s saving grace and the blessings secured through Christ. The heavenly gift includes the mercy, forgiveness, and access to God made possible by Jesus’ once-for-all sacrifice. 1Pe 2:3 now that you have tasted that the Lord is good. who have shared in the Holy Spirit, They had participated in the Spirit’s work among Christ’s people, where the Spirit gave life, assurance, power, and spiritual gifts. The warning concerns no ordinary lapse or season of weakness, but the deliberate abandonment of Christ after profound exposure to the realities of the new covenant. Php 2:1 Therefore if you have any encouragement in Christ,… who have tasted The readers had personally encountered God’s saving work and the realities of the Christian community. Like those invited to “taste and see that the LORD is good” (Psalm 34:8), they had known something of His grace and truth, not merely heard it described by others. Psa 34:8 Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man… the goodness of the word of God God’s revealed message had proved sweet, nourishing, and life-giving to them (Psalm 119:103). The word proclaimed in the gospel announces God’s redemption through His Son and calls sinners to faith, obedience, and perseverance. To turn from it after receiving its light is to reject the very message by which God gives life. 1Th 2:13 when you received the word of God that you heard from us… and the powers of the coming age— Miracles, healings, deliverances, and gifts of the Holy Spirit gave early believers foretastes of Christ’s future kingdom. Jesus’ works had already demonstrated that the kingdom of God had drawn near, while its complete victory over sin, death, and Satan still awaits His return. The Spirit’s work in the church remains the firstfruits and pledge of the inheritance believers will fully receive in the age to come (Romans 8:23; Ephesians 1:13–14). Mrk 9:1 Then Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, there are some…”… and then have fallen away— Apostasy involves a deliberate, decisive turning from Christ after receiving the light of the gospel and participating in the covenant community. Jewish believers facing persecution were tempted to escape suffering by returning to the old covenant system and rejecting Jesus as Messiah. Such a repudiation did not merely reflect weakness or a temporary struggle with sin; it amounted to abandoning the only sacrifice that truly removes sin. Luk 8:13 The seeds on rocky ground are those who hear the word… to be restored to repentance, Repentance means turning from sin and unbelief to God through faith in Christ. Those who knowingly and finally reject Christ place themselves beyond any other means of reconciliation, because God has provided no salvation apart from His Son. The warning does not deny God’s readiness to forgive the repentant, but exposes the dreadful end of hardened, willful rejection. 2Ti 2:25-26 He must gently reprove those who oppose him,… because they themselves are crucifying the Son of God all over again By renouncing Christ, apostates align themselves with those who condemned Him, treating His death as deserving contempt rather than receiving it as God’s sufficient sacrifice for sin. Returning to the sacrifices and shadows of the former covenant as though Jesus’ blood were inadequate denies the completed work accomplished at Calvary. Act 2:23 He was delivered up by God’s set plan and foreknowledge,… and subjecting Him to open shame. Public rejection of Christ dishonors the One who endured public humiliation, suffering, and death for sinners. Believers are therefore called to persevere in faith, holding fast to the crucified and risen Son of God rather than retreating from Him under pressure. Heb 12:2 Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author… For land that drinks in the rain often falling on it Rain was God’s essential provision for Israel’s crops, especially during the early and latter rains (Deuteronomy 11:14). Land that receives repeated rain pictures those who have repeatedly received the light and privileges of God’s truth. The rain is not scarce; God has generously supplied instruction, warning, grace, and opportunity through His word and His people. Deu 11:11-12 But the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess… and that produces a crop useful to those for whom it is tended Productive soil fulfills the purpose for which it is cultivated. In the same way, those who receive God’s truth are accountable to bear the fruit of faith, obedience, repentance, and love. Jesus taught that abiding in Him produces lasting fruit, while fruitlessness reveals a serious spiritual condition (John 15:5–8; Matthew 3:8). Such fruit serves others as well as honoring God. 2Ti 2:6 The hardworking farmer should be the first… receives the blessing of God. God’s blessing rests upon fruitful lives because their fruit demonstrates the reality of His gracious work within them. The blessing is not earned by human effort, but genuine faith does not remain barren. Hebrews contrasts this fruitful land with ground that bears thorns and thistles, warning that persistent rejection of God’s grace leads not to blessing but judgment. Psa 67:6-7 The earth has yielded its harvest; God, our God, blesses us.… But land that produces thorns and thistles Land that receives the same rain as fruitful ground yet yields only what hinders cultivation pictures those who receive God’s truth and blessings without responding in faith and obedience. Thorns and thistles recall the curse placed on the ground after Adam’s sin (Genesis 3:17–18), revealing the outward fruit of a fallen and resistant heart. Gen 3:17-18 And to Adam He said: “Because you have listened… is worthless, Unproductive land fails the purpose for which it has been cultivated. The warning concerns spiritual fruit, not the denial of human dignity. Those who profess faith but persistently reject God’s word demonstrate a barren condition, for genuine faith bears the fruit of righteousness (Matthew 7:17–19; James 2:26). Ezk 15:2-5 Son of man, how does the wood of the vine… and its curse is imminent. Israel’s covenant history showed that continued rebellion brought divine discipline and judgment (Deuteronomy 28:15–24). The danger is near because persistent unbelief hardens the heart and invites God’s righteous response. Hebrews calls its readers to perseverance rather than drifting into the hardened unbelief displayed by the wilderness generation. Isa 24:6 Therefore a curse has consumed the earth… In the end it will be burned. Fields covered with thorns were burned to remove what was useless and to prepare the ground for cultivation. The image points beyond temporal discipline to God’s final judgment upon unrepentant unbelief. God’s judgment is certain, while His call to repentance remains urgent. Ezk 15:6-7 Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says:… Even though we speak like this, The grave warnings of Hebrews 6:4–8 are not withdrawn or weakened. The writer turns from warning to pastoral assurance, showing that faithful shepherding includes both sober admonition and confident encouragement. 2Co 7:8-9 Even if I caused you sorrow by my letter,… beloved, Affection governs the warning. The readers are addressed as those dearly loved, not as enemies or hopeless apostates. Christian exhortation is meant to strengthen believers in love, as seen also in 1 John 4:7. 1Jn 4:7 Beloved, let us love one another, because love comes from God.… we are convinced of better things in your case— The writer expects the readers to continue in faith rather than follow the path of spiritual ruin described earlier. Their history of serving God’s people gives evidence that God is at work among them, and His work calls them to renewed diligence rather than complacency. Rom 15:14 I myself am convinced, my brothers, that you yourselves… things that accompany salvation. Salvation produces visible fruit: love for the saints, perseverance in faith, obedience to God, and hope in His promises. Hebrews 6:10–12 immediately points to such evidence, urging believers to imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what God has promised. Good works do not earn salvation, but they accompany genuine faith and testify to its living reality. 2Pe 1:10-11 Therefore, brothers, strive to make your calling and election sure.… For God is not unjust. God’s righteous character guarantees that He will deal faithfully with His people. Although no human work can earn salvation, the Lord does not disregard the fruit produced by genuine faith. His justice stands in contrast to human judgment, which often overlooks sacrifice, misunderstands motives, or fails to reward faithfulness. Rom 9:14 What then shall we say? Is God unjust? Certainly not! He will not forget your work The believers addressed had endured hardship and served Christ’s people in costly ways. God had seen every act of obedience, including labor unnoticed by others. Their work did not secure their standing before God; rather, it testified to the reality of their faith and to the grace at work within them. 1Co 15:58 Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast and immovable.… and the love you have shown for His name Love for God’s name means devotion to His person, honor, and revealed character. Service offered for Christ’s sake arises from love for Him, not merely from duty or the desire for human approval. Jesus likewise identified care for His brethren as service rendered to Himself. Psa 119:132 Turn to me and show me mercy, as You do to those who love… as you have ministered to the saints The saints are all who belong to Christ, set apart by God through faith. Ministry among them included practical provision, hospitality, encouragement, prayer, and steadfast support during suffering. Such love marked the early church and displayed the unity created by the gospel. 1Co 16:15 You know that Stephanas and his household were the first… and continue to do so. Their past service had not ended, but continued as a pattern of faithful love. The writer encourages perseverance, especially after warning against drifting from Christ. Believers are called to remain diligent in serving one another, confident that God remembers all done in love for His name. 2Th 3:13 But as for you, brothers, do not grow weary in well-doing. We want each of you The author addresses the whole congregation while pressing every believer toward personal faithfulness. Christian endurance is strengthened within the fellowship of believers, where love, service, and mutual encouragement guard against spiritual drift. 1Th 2:11 For you know that we treated each of you as a father… to show this same diligence Their earlier labor in serving God’s people demonstrated genuine love for His name (Hebrews 6:10). They were to continue with earnest faith, obedient service, and growing maturity rather than becoming complacent after a strong beginning. 2Pe 1:5 For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith… to the very end, Perseverance remains necessary through suffering, temptation, and delay. The end includes the completion of earthly life and the day when Christ fulfills all He has promised to His people. Those who belong to Christ continue in faith because God sustains them. Heb 3:14 We have come to share in Christ if we hold firmly to the end… in order to make your hope sure. Biblical hope rests on God’s unchanging promise and Christ’s priestly work, not on uncertain human effort. Continued diligence brings full assurance that believers will receive the promised inheritance, for their hope is anchored beyond the veil in the presence of Jesus (Hebrews 6:19–20). Heb 10:23 Let us hold resolutely to the hope we profess… Then you will not be sluggish, Believers must resist spiritual dullness, the condition that had hindered the readers’ maturity and made them slow to grasp God’s truth (Hebrews 5:11). Persevering faith requires earnest attention to God’s Word, prayer, obedience, and fellowship. Israel’s wilderness generation stands as a solemn warning: unbelief and disobedience kept many from entering the rest God had promised (Hebrews 3:16–19). Rom 12:11 Do not let your zeal subside; keep your spiritual fervor,… but will imitate those God has given His people faithful examples whose lives demonstrate endurance under testing. The readers are directed to follow the pattern of the patriarchs, prophets, and all who trusted God despite delay, hardship, and opposition. Such imitation ultimately leads believers to fix their eyes on Jesus, whose endurance perfectly fulfilled the Father’s will (Hebrews 12:1–3). 1Co 11:1 You are to imitate me, just as I imitate Christ. who through faith and patience Faith rests upon God’s character and promises even when fulfillment is not yet visible. Patience gives faith endurance through suffering, delay, and uncertainty. Abraham especially illustrates this union: he believed God’s promise of descendants and waited through many years before Isaac’s birth, trusting that God would accomplish what He had spoken (Hebrews 6:13–15). Rom 4:20-21 Yet he did not waver through disbelief in the promise of God… inherit what has been promised. God’s promises culminate in salvation, eternal life, resurrection, His kingdom, and abiding fellowship with Him. The inheritance belongs to those united to Christ by faith, not to those who merely begin well or possess outward religious privilege. God’s faithfulness guarantees the fulfillment of every promise He has made to His redeemed people. Heb 10:36 You need to persevere, so that after you have done…
God’s Unchangeable PromiseGod called Abraham from Ur and pledged to make him a great nation, give his descendants the land of Canaan, and bring blessing to all nations through his seed (Genesis 12:1–3). The covenant was confirmed in Genesis 15 and sealed by God’s own covenant oath, showing that its fulfillment rested ultimately on God’s faithfulness rather than Abraham’s strength. After Abraham offered Isaac in obedience, God reaffirmed the promise with special emphasis on the coming multiplication of Abraham’s descendants and the blessing of the nations through his offspring (Genesis 22:16–18). Jesus Christ is the promised Seed through whom that blessing reaches the world (Galatians 3:16). Gen 12:2-3 I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you;… since He had no one greater to swear by, Human oaths appeal to an authority greater than the speaker as a witness and guarantee. God is the supreme Creator, Judge, and ruler over all things; no higher authority exists by whom He could confirm His word. His promise carries the full weight of His holy character, power, and truthfulness. Deu 32:39 See now that I am He; there is no God besides Me… He swore by Himself, God bound His promise to His own name, making clear that His purpose cannot fail. The oath did not make God more trustworthy, but provided Abraham and all who inherit the promise with unmistakable assurance. God’s covenant faithfulness to Abraham points forward to the unshakable hope believers possess through the completed work and abiding priesthood of Jesus Christ. Gen 22:16-18 By Myself I have sworn, declares the LORD, … saying, God confirmed His oath to Abraham after Abraham’s obedience in offering Isaac on Mount Moriah. Because no authority is greater than God, He swore by Himself, binding the promise to His own unchanging character and faithfulness. Gen 22:16 By Myself I have sworn, declares the LORD, … “I will surely bless you God’s blessing promised His favor, protection, and covenant fellowship with Abraham. The words recall Genesis 22:17, where the Lord reaffirmed His covenant after providing the ram in Isaac’s place, foreshadowing the Father’s provision of His own Son. Gen 12:2 I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you;… and multiply your descendants.” God fulfilled this promise through Isaac, Jacob, and the nation of Israel. Abraham’s offspring also includes all who belong to Christ by faith, as Galatians 3:29 teaches, while the covenant promises concerning Israel remain grounded in God’s irrevocable word. Gen 22:17 I will surely bless you, and I will multiply… And so Abraham, Abraham answered God’s call to leave Ur and lived as a pilgrim in the land God promised to his descendants. God bound Himself to Abraham by covenant, promising a son, a great nation, and blessing for all nations through his offspring. Gen 12:2-3 I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you;… after waiting patiently, Abraham endured many years between God’s promise and Isaac’s birth, trusting the Lord despite Sarah’s barrenness and their old age. His faith was counted as righteousness, and his obedience was tested and confirmed when he offered Isaac at God’s command. Rom 4:18-21 Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed… obtained the promise. God gave Isaac to Abraham and Sarah exactly as He had promised, establishing the covenant line through which Israel would come. After Abraham’s willingness to offer Isaac, God also confirmed by oath that his descendants would be multiplied and that through his seed all nations would be blessed, ultimately fulfilled in Jesus Christ. Gen 21:1-2 Now the LORD attended to Sarah as He had said… Men swear by someone greater than themselves, Human oaths appealed to an authority above the speaker, calling that authority to witness the truthfulness of the promise or testimony. Abraham swore by the LORD in making a covenant with Abimelech (Genesis 21:23–24), recognizing God as the highest Judge and witness. Such an oath acknowledged that a person’s word was accountable before God. Gen 24:3 I will have you swear by the LORD, the God of heaven… and their oath serves as a confirmation In legal agreements, covenants, and disputed matters, an oath supplied solemn assurance that the speaker would fulfill what had been promised. Scripture treats vows made before God as binding commitments (Numbers 30:2). The oath did not make a false word true; it bound the one speaking to the God who knows the heart and judges deceit. Exo 22:11 an oath before the LORD shall be made between the parties… to end all argument. An oath brought a matter to its final settlement because the parties accepted the greater authority invoked. God accommodated this familiar human practice when He swore by Himself to Abraham, since no one greater exists by whom He could swear (Hebrews 6:13; Genesis 22:16–18). His oath confirms the unchanging certainty of His promise, fulfilled ultimately in Jesus Christ, in whom every promise of God is Yes and Amen (2 Corinthians 1:20). Pro 18:18 Casting the lot ends quarrels and separates… So when God wanted to make the unchanging nature of His purpose very clear God’s purposes rest in His own unchanging character. He does not revise His promises because of changing circumstances, human weakness, or the passing of generations. Malachi 3:6 declares, “For I the Lord do not change,” and James 1:17 identifies Him as the Father with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow. God’s covenant purpose, first revealed through Abraham and fulfilled in Christ, stands secure because He Himself is faithful. Psa 33:11 The counsel of the LORD stands forever, … to the heirs of the promise, The heirs include Abraham’s believing descendants and, through faith in Christ, all who belong to Him. God promised Abraham blessing, offspring, and a worldwide blessing through his seed (Genesis 12:1–3; 22:16–18). Jesus Christ is the promised Seed through whom the nations are blessed, and believers become heirs according to the promise through union with Him (Galatians 3:29). The inheritance includes salvation, eternal life, and the coming kingdom of God. Gal 3:29 And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed… He guaranteed it with an oath. God confirmed His promise by swearing by Himself, since no higher authority exists. The oath given after Abraham’s obedience in offering Isaac demonstrated that God’s blessing would certainly come to pass. God did not take an oath because His word could fail, but because He graciously provided His people with the strongest assurance that His purpose is fixed. Gen 22:16-18 By Myself I have sworn, declares the LORD, … Thus by two unchangeable things God’s promise and oath to Abraham establish the certainty of His covenant purpose (Genesis 22:16–18). God does not change in character or purpose; therefore, what He has pledged stands secure. Heb 7:20-22 And none of this happened without an oath.… in which it is impossible for God to lie, God’s truthfulness is absolute. Unlike human promises, which may fail through weakness or deceit, God’s word cannot fail because He is faithful and cannot act contrary to His own nature (Numbers 23:19; Titus 1:2). Tit 1:2 in the hope of eternal life, which God,… we who have fled to take hold of the hope set before us Believers have fled from judgment and self-reliance to find refuge in God’s saving promise. The language recalls the cities of refuge, where one in danger found safety under God’s provision. The hope held before Christians is eternal life and full inheritance through Jesus Christ. 1Ti 6:12 Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life… may be strongly encouraged. God gives His people firm consolation amid suffering, delay, and opposition. Their confidence rests not in changing circumstances but in the unbreakable promise and oath of God, fulfilled and secured by Christ. Rom 15:4 For everything that was written in the past… We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, God’s promise and oath give believers a settled confidence in His saving purpose. Like an anchor holding a ship against wind and waves, hope in Christ steadies the inner life amid suffering, temptation, and uncertainty. This hope rests on God’s unchanging character and on the completed work of Jesus Christ, not on changing circumstances or human strength. Psa 130:5-7 I wait for the LORD; my soul does wait, and in His word… firm and secure. The believer’s confidence is immovable because God cannot lie and Christ’s sacrifice has fully secured redemption. God preserves those who belong to His Son, and His promises provide a foundation that cannot be shaken. Psa 62:6-7 He alone is my rock and my salvation; He is my fortress;… It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain, The anchor of Christian hope reaches into the heavenly presence of God, pictured by the Holy of Holies in Israel’s tabernacle and temple. The curtain had barred ordinary worshipers from the place of God’s immediate presence, where the high priest entered only once each year with sacrificial blood on the Day of Atonement. Jesus has entered heaven as the perfect High Priest and has opened access to God for all who come through Him. The tearing of the temple curtain at His death testified that His sacrifice fulfilled the old covenant sacrifices and established direct reconciliation with God. Heb 9:3 Behind the second curtain was a room called the Most Holy… where Jesus our forerunner has entered on our behalf. Jesus entered the heavenly sanctuary through His death, resurrection, and ascension, appearing before the Father as the representative of His people. His entrance secures the believer’s access to God and anchors hope beyond the visible world. John the Baptist prepared the way for Christ on earth; Christ has prepared the way for His redeemed people into God’s presence. His work is substitutionary and mediatorial, for He stands before God on behalf of those who come to Him by faith. Heb 9:24 For Christ did not enter a man-made copy… He has become a high priest forever Jesus holds an unending priesthood because He conquered death and lives forever to intercede for His people. Israel’s high priests entered the Most Holy Place only once each year, carrying sacrificial blood for sin. Jesus entered heaven itself with the complete and final sacrifice of His own blood, accomplishing eternal redemption. No successor is needed, and no further sacrifice remains to be offered. Heb 7:24-25 But because Jesus lives forever, He has a permanent… in the order of Melchizedek. Melchizedek was king of Salem and priest of God Most High in the days of Abraham, blessing Abraham after his victory over the kings. His priesthood stood apart from the later Levitical order and united royal authority with priestly service. Psalm 110 foretold that the Messiah would be a priest in this order. Jesus fulfills that promise as the righteous King and eternal Priest whose ministry surpasses the temporary sacrifices and mortal priests of the old covenant. Psa 110:4 The LORD has sworn and will not change His mind… This is a draft of the Berean Study Bible. Please send all comments and recommendations to bereanstudybible@aol.com. Bible Hub |
