Heb # 19 A strong consolation and anchor Heb 6 vs 16-20

Many do not understand and believe the gospel because they are ignorant of God's teaching of it.

Those who claim that salvation can be lost do not know God, do not know themselves and surely do not know the gospel.

The gospel is good news because God swore by Himself to accomplish it in Christ.

God is unchangeable and an oath is unchangeable-especially one made by One who is unchangeable. And that is to say salvation was a decree of God/ a promise backed up by God's immutability/unchangeableness.

For salvation to be lost God has to be changeable and that means God has to lie and God says-IT IS IMPOSSIBLE for Him to lie.

There is no consolation/no hope if salvation is dependent on the sinner. The sinner only has hope because of God's faithfulness not because of their faithfulness. The faithfulness of a sinner means nothing because they are changeable and that is why God did not swear by them, but swore on their behalf to accomplish their salvation.

In Christ we have a strong consolation, hope and anchor for the soul. Christ the forerunner who has gone before His people to represent them before God behind the veil, that is, in the Heavenly Holy of Holies.

That and more and it is a wonderful message whenever Christ alone is exalted and it is free!
