Comprehending the covenants in Scripture lays the foundation for structuring confessions of faith and rightly understanding how the various laws in the Bible relate to the covenant in which they were given and to people who were or are not in that given covenant.

Hebrews 10:26-39; Warning and Encouragement

This section represents a change in direction for this letter – a hinge-point, moving from theological truth to how that impacts our lives. It’s not an absolute change in direction, as all of Scripture has something for us in both of these arenas. We have read of intense teaching of how Christ is better and greater than all and has brought His people into a better and greater covenant and state of being, coupled with warnings about drifting away and false belief. This section repeats the warning and ends with encouragement to the saints to live like we believe; opening the way to chapter 11 and following, where the focus is on living worthy of our call.
