Day 15 - Answer is Hope

A study of Hebrews 6 • • • • • :4 for it is impossible [to restore and bring again to repentance] those who have been once and for all enlightened, who have consciously tasted the gift and have become sharers of the Holy Spirit, and have felt how good the Word of God is... • • • :11 but we do [strongly and earnestly] desire for each of you to show the same diligence and sincerity [all the way through] in realizing and enjoying the full assurance and development of your hope to the end... Behaving as do those as through faith (by their leaning of the entire personality on God in Christ in absolute trust and confidence in his power, wisdom and goodness) and by practice of patient waiting are [now] inheriting the promises. • • • :17 accordingly God also, in his desire to show more convincingly and beyond doubt to those who were to inherit the promise the unchangeableness of his plan, intervened (mediated) with an oath. • • • :18 this was so that...we who have fled [to him] for refuge might have mighty indwelling of strength and strong encouragement to grasp and hold fast the hope appointed for us and set before [us]. • • • :19 [now] we have this [hope] as a sure and steadfast anchor for the soul [it cannot slip and cannot break down under whoever steps out upon it - a hope] that reaches farther and enters into [the very certainty of the Presence] • • • • • of God. • • • • • I am tired of living without this hope. I am tired of leaning on my own personality for hope. • • • Lord God, continue to realize and developed  my faith, my hope.
