Presentation transcript:

To achieve success, some professions, require extreme care and vigilant attention to detail and following proper procedures Not near as serious as most important profession of all: being a Christian (Eph 4:1 KJV "vocation"). Have become indifferent and unconcerned in our attitudes and approach to our "profession" Heb 4:14

THE SERIOUSNESS OF BEING A CHRISTIAN Hebrews 10:19-39 REMEMBER WHO GOD IS Marvel at His great power Heb 11:3; Psa 33:6; 19:1 He is the Creator Gen 1:1 Be humbled: we are the pinnacle of His creation Gen 1:26-27 CONSIDER WHAT GOD HAS DONE FOR US He has spoken to us Heb 1:1-2; 1Cor 2:9-10 He has forgiven our sins Heb 1:3 He has given us a great calling Heb 3:1 He provides us with great help in our "profession" Heb 4:15-16

THE SERIOUSNESS OF BEING A CHRISTIAN Hebrews 10:19-39 REALIZE WE HAVE A GREAT RESPONSIBILITY We must pay close attention to Him! Heb 2:1-4 We must ever be alert! Salvation conditional Heb 3:6,14 Backsliding easy Heb 3:12 Won’t make it unless obedient Heb 3:18,19; Heb 5:9 Only make it by giving "diligence" Heb 11:6; 4:9,11

THE SERIOUSNESS OF BEING A CHRISTIAN Hebrews 10:19-39 LEARN THE LESSONS TAUGHT IN HEBREWS 10 Hebrews appears complex, but just has a repetitive theme Bulk of chapter 10 is warning, exhortation & encouragement to faithfulness that follows Paul’s exposition and argument begun in Heb 7:1. The main points of the exposition and argument are: Superior High Priesthood of Christ e.g., Heb 7:26-28; 8:1-2 He is Mediator superior covenant Heb 10:1-4; 10:16-18 Superior sacrifice made once for sins of world Heb 9:11-14; 10:14,17

THE SERIOUSNESS OF BEING A CHRISTIAN Hebrews 10:19-39 LEARN THE LESSONS TAUGHT IN HEBREWS 10 Exhortation & encouragement Heb 10:19-39 (Begins with “therefore”) Our confidence Heb 10:19-22; Heb 6:20 (also: 2:17,18; 7:25) Our responsibility Heb 10:23-25; 1Cor 16:13; Phil 2:3-4 Our fate if fail to take being Christian seriously Heb 10:26-29; Jhn 14:6; Acts 20:32; Heb. 4:14 Certainty of fate Heb 10:30-31; Rom 11:22; Heb 10:31 Appeal to past Heb 10:32-34; Matt 10:35-39; Lk 9:23; Matt 5:11-12; Rev 2:4-5 Appeal to the future Heb10:35-39 Heb 10:35

THE SERIOUSNESS OF BEING A CHRISTIAN Hebrews 10:19-39 Being a Christian is serious! Do you have "boldness to enter the Holiest"? Are you drawing "near with a true heart and in full assurance of faith"? Are you meeting your responsibilities to yourself, brethren, and God? If not living as you should then: Fear! Heb 10:30-31; Remember how far you’ve come! Heb 10:32-34; Remember there’s only a little ways to go! Heb 10:35-39; Don’t "cast away your confidence! Heb 10:35 I’m "confident of better things concerning you" Heb 6:9, you "are not of those who draw back to perdition, but of those who believe to the saving of the soul" Heb 10:39
