The Pledge of God's Presence
Co-workers with the Truth
Hebrews 10:23-31 The Message
22-25 So let’s do it—full of belief, confident that we’re presentable inside and out. Let’s keep a firm grip on the promises that keep us going. He always keeps his word. Let’s see how inventive we can be in encouraging love and helping out, not avoiding worshiping together as some do but spurring each other on, especially as we see the big Day approaching.26-31 If we give up and turn our backs on all we’ve learned, all we’ve been given, all the truth we now know, we repudiate Christ’s sacrifice and are left on our own to face the Judgment—and a mighty fierce judgment it will be! If the penalty for breaking the law of Moses is physical death, what do you think will happen if you turn on God’s Son, spit on the sacrifice that made you whole, and insult this most gracious Spirit? This is no light matter. God has warned us that he’ll hold us to account and make us pay. He was quite explicit: “Vengeance is mine, and I won’t overlook a thing” and “God will judge his people.” Nobody’s getting by with anything, believe me.
For Reflection
Now
that you know the truth, you are at the starting point. Learn all you
can about the truth. Practice the truth in the midst of believers.
Practice the truth in daily life. Read scripture and discuss it with
others. Have unwavering confidence in the Living God. You will have a
lifetime of joy as you grow in grace.
