The Peril of Not Progressing

1 Therefore, aleaving the discussion of the elementary principles of Christ, let us go on to1 perfection, not laying again the foundation of repentance from bdead works and of faith toward God,

Hebrews 6:1

Hebrews 6:1 Going on Toward Perfection SUMMARY OF CHAPTER 6: Leaving First Principles. First Principles Explained. Going on to Perfection. The Fatal Consequences of Apostasy. Exhortation to Diligence. The Absolute Assurance of God's Promises. Leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ. The rudiments, the milk fitted only for babes. Let us go on unto perfection. Go on to the higher lessons which belong to full grown men. The exhortation is to go on from the lessons of Christian childhood to those of manhood in Christ. See Hebrews 5:13-14. Not laying again the foundation. To lay the foundation once is enough, if it is laid right. These first principles are the foundation of Christian life, but we must build higher and higher upon them. Of repentance. This was essential in laying the foundation. All men are commanded to repent. Repentance is essentially a change of the will, the rebellious will becoming a will to serve the Lord. From dead works. Some try to save themselves by trusting in their works, but they are as vain to save as though they were dead. And of faith toward God. Faith as well as repentance enter into the foundation. The sinner must believe upon the Lord, and repent. See Acts 16:31 2:38.
