Hebrews 6 · Grade 4

Imitators of Faith

Name Date

Read and Think

Hebrews 6 begins, let’s press on to perfection. The letter lists basic teachings like repentance, faith, baptisms, and resurrection, and says believers should build on that foundation. Then comes a serious warning about people who taste God’s goodness and then fall away. The picture is of land that drinks the rain but grows only thorns.

Right away the letter says, But, beloved, we are persuaded of better things for you. God saw how the readers loved him by serving the saints. The letter wants each of them to keep the same diligence to the end, not being sluggish, but imitating those who through faith and perseverance inherited the promises.

Abraham is the example. God promised to bless him and multiply him, and he swore by himself. Abraham waited patiently and obtained the promise. God’s promise and oath are two things that cannot change, and in them it is impossible for God to lie. So hope works like an anchor. It holds the soul steady and reaches into God’s presence, where Jesus has gone ahead.
