Ezekiel 20: 45-49, Ezekiel 21, Ezekiel 22: 1-22, Hebrews 10: 19-39, Proverbs 14: 25-35
Hebrews 10: 23-25 (ESV)
“Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without
wavering, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how to stir up
one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the
habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day
drawing near.”
In verses 23 through 25, the writer of Hebrews 10 tells us that
because of the death of Christ, we need to hold fast to the new covenant given to
us by Christ and the promise of his faithfulness. The writer of Hebrews 10 also
tells us to seek the community of faith so we can encourage each other with
love and to do good works. We must also remember to meet together as a community
in worship. When we meet together in worship, we can encourage and love another
as people who have the same faith. The writer also tells us that we need to
always keep in the mind that we do not know when Christ will return to earth,
so we need to always live our lives as if that day is near. I believe the writer
might also mean that since we do not know when we will leave this earth, we
need to treat every day as if it’s our last day and worship Christ because we
might be seeing him sooner rather than later.
I think these verses are great advice for any person with
faith in Christ on how to live in the world. If we live every day thinking we
might meet God the next day, then we will live very different lives.
