Episode 37: Hebrews 6

Today's meditation is based on Hebrews 6 from The Passion Translation

Now is the time for me to progress beyond the basic message of Christ and advance into perfection. The foundation has already been laid for me to build upon: turning away from my dead works to embrace faith in God, being baptized not just with water but by the Holy Spirit, and imparting the gifts of the Holy Spirit through the laying on of hands. With God's enablement, I will move on to deeper truths.

I have come into God’s light, and tasted the gifts of the heavenly realm. I have received the Holy Spirit, and feasted on the good Word of God. I have entered into the power of the age that is breaking in and I will never abandon my faith. If I did, it would be like re-crucifying the Son of God. 

My heart is just like the soil that drinks up the showers which often fall upon it. And it will yield crops as God’s blessing upon the field. I am fully convinced that there are more beautiful and excellent things, which will flow from my salvation.

For God, the Faithful One, is not unfair. He will not forget the beautiful work I have done for him. He remembers the love I demonstrate as I continually serve his beloved ones for the glory of his name. I will continue to passionately advance until the end and will find my hope fulfilled. I don’t allow my heart to grow dull or lose my enthusiasm, but follow the example of those who have gone before me who fully received what God has promised because of their strong faith and patient endurance.

When God made a promise to Abraham, since there was no one greater than himself, he swore an oath on his own integrity to keep the promise as sure as God exists! He promised to bless him over and over, and give him a son and multiply him without measure!

God wanted to end all doubt and confirm it even more forcefully to those who would inherit his promises. His purpose was unchangeable, so God added his vow to the promise. I know it is impossible for God to lie for I know that his promise and his vow will never change!

And now I have run into his heart to hide myself in his faithfulness. This is where I find his strength and comfort, for he empowers me to seize what has already been established ahead of time—an unshakable hope! I have this certain hope like a strong, unbreakable anchor holding my soul to God himself. My anchor of hope is fastened to the mercy seat in the heavenly realm beyond the sacred threshold, and where Jesus, my forerunner, has gone in before me. He is now and forever my royal Priest like Melchizedek.

Until next time, be blessed and be a blessing.
