Hebrews 10:32-39
These are great words of encouragement for us in these verses. This is actually a completion of the 4th warning passage in the book of Hebrews. There are five warning passages in Hebrews. They warn us of the failure to become everything that God has saved us to become.
Not only are they warning passages, but they are also passages of great encouragement. We have looked at the warning section in verses 26-31. Those verses warn us of the danger of presumptuous sin-willful, defiant sin. Sinning on purpose is how we called it last week.

The writer of Hebrews is like a surgeon who has made a painful incision. He has hurt us with his incision. Now the surgeon comes into your hospital room and with tender, soothing words, he tells you how to get well. He tells you how he is going to get you healed. That's what these verses do. They are soothing words of encouragement.
They really fall into line with the second great purpose for the book of Hebrews. The first purpose of Hebrews is to exalt the Lord Jesus Christ and to show us that in Jesus Christ everything we have is far better than anything else you ...
