Hebrews 6:6 - Forerunner Commentary

Hebrews 6:6

4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted ^athe heavenly gift, and ^bhave become partakers of the Holy Spirit,

5 and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come,

6 ¹if they fall away, to renew them again to repentance, ^asince they crucify again for themselves the Son of God, and put Him to an open shame.

7 For the earth which drinks in the rain that often comes upon it, and bears herbs useful for those by whom it is cultivated, ^areceives blessing from God;

8 ^abut if it bears thorns and briers, it is rejected and near to being cursed, whose end is to be burned.

A Better Estimate

9 But, beloved, we are confident of better things concerning you, yes, things that accompany salvation, though we speak in this manner.

10 For ^aGod is not unjust to forget ^byour work and labor of love which you have shown toward His name, in that you have ^cministered to the saints, and do minister.

11 And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence ^ato the full assurance of hope until the end,

12 that you do not become¹ sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience ^ainherit the promises.

God’s Infallible Purpose in Christ

13 For when God made a promise to Abraham, because He could swear by no one greater, ^aHe swore by Himself,

14 saying, ^a“Surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you.”
