Hope in the Promise

Posted on by

From “The Greatest Gift Given” wk3d2 ( An LGG Study)

Read: Hebrews 10:19-25; SOAP: Hebrews 10:23

19 Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the holy places by the blood of Jesus, 20 by the new and living way that he opened for us through the curtain, that is, through his flesh, 21 and since we have a great priest over the house of God, 22 let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. 23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful. 24 And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, 25 not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.

Hebrews 10:19-25

Reflection:

  • How do you know that Christ is trustworthy?
  • How does his trustworthy character give you confidence as you hope in Him?

The gift of hope that God gives us is a solid foundation for our faith, because the promises God made to the men and women in the Bible show us His incredible promise-keeping character.
