The Most Encouraging Verse In The Bible
David Davis
Hebrews 13:5-6
''I feel so left out. My family would prefer me dead. My business has practically folded. The firm is not firm -- and neither am I. I cannot honestly say I have one true friend on this planet. I even held my 30.06 rifle to my head with the first stages of premeditated suicide in my mind.''
What would you say to this man if he came to you for help?
Hebrews 13:5-6 is either a bland sentence or it is God's solid gold.
There are three key words in the verse 5...
1. What does never mean?
2. What does leave mean?
3. What does forsake mean?
I. What Does Never Mean?
I discovered a true nugget when I investigated the semantics of this negative word. I doesn't simply mean a bland never. It is a compounding of five negatives, not each negative added to the other, but multiplied by the other.
It should read -- ''I will never, no, not ever, never leave you nor forsake you.''
It is a forever never that has no exceptions ever!
If God will never leave you -- He has not now left you because never includes now -- right? Can you accept that in your mind? In your will? In your emotions?
What about my past you say? Paul made it clear that God forgives the past in Phil. 3:13-14. Read it!
''I will never, no, not ever, never leave you.''
You can receive spiritual healing if you will yield your whole mind to this powerful -- positive negative.
If God will never leave you -- He will not leave you in the future because never includes the future.
Romans 8:35-39 -- Read it!
Now in this verse, in this context, let us discover the second gold mine.
II. What Does Leave Mean?
The word - leave - in the Greek - is in the second aorist active subjective which translates - ''To leave behind, to abandon, to give up on, to send back.''
Now let's see what we have --
''I will never, no, not ever, never leave you behind, abandon you, give up on you, or send you back.''
Get these ...
