Hebrews 6. When Jesus talks about faith, He means first of all to trust unreservedly that you are loved, so that you can be released from the prison of shame to pursue your destiny in Him. You begin to hope against hope that this is true. And then some religious hall monitor turns you to Hebrews 6 and warns you that your view is flawed, that there are a lot of performance standards to either earn or keep God’s love, and that you should live scared spitless of messing up. This Sunday I want to show you what I believe Hebrews 6 is really saying. I view Hebrews as one of the most touching and gracious portions of Scripture. Rather than a warning against those who think they’re Christians but they’re not, these paragraphs are telling those of us who embrace grace how to love those in our lives who have walked away from God and us.
