Series: Once and For All
Bob Ingle
Hebrews 1:1-3
Let me start with a list of questions that most Christians have probably pondered at one time or another and most likely have discussed with others who are curious about Christianity.
- How can Christians claim that Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven when the majority of the world
practices other faiths?
- Do we really believe God will eternally condemn most of His people, the Israelites, for simply not recognizing Jesus as the Messiah promised in the Old Testament?
- Are angels active in the world today? Do they still interact with human beings like we see in the Bible?
- Does God really care about and take notice of the sex lives of people, both married and unmarried?
- What happens to a Christian who renounces his/her faith? Do they lose their salvation?
- If God really cares about me, why doesn’t He answer my prayers and alleviate my suffering?
How many of you think it would be helpful to be able to go to one book of the Bible and find answers to those questions? I’ve got some good news for those of you. The answers to those questions, and many others, can be found in the book we are beginning to study today. So, if you have your bible, I invite you to turn to the book of Hebrews. We’ve called this series ‘Once and For All’. That phrase ‘once for all’ is found in Hebrews at least seven times. Jesus, the perfect, sinless, holy Son of God made a way for us to be redeemed and reconciled to God by His sacrificial, substitutionary death and His victorious, bodily resurrection from the dead. And did this once and for all. We are going to see this truth over and over and over again as we study this book.
Quick Overview of Hebrews
When was it written? Around AD 65 (30 years after the resurrection and a few years before sacrifices ended.)
Who was the original audience? Unknown, but likely Jewish Christians in Rome.
Who wrote it? Speculations o ...
