We can hold on to Jesus because God, who cannot lie, has promised that our High Priest, Jesus, is a sure and steady anchor already ministering on our behalf before God.

The warning in Hebrews serves to keep believers diligent in pressing forward in their Christian walk.

We should be growing in our ability to digest the Word. We can work hard to understand and apply the Bible, praying for God's help in doing so.

Saul's life is a tragic example of failing to trust and obey God. Followers of God pray for help to see and trust God's ways and purposes.

We have a perfect High Priest who was anointed by God as a perfect sacrifice for our sins. He is able to bring us to God.

Furthering the imperative, the author of Hebrews invites us to strive to enter the rest of God by continuing to believe in the Gospel and drawing near to Christ in our time of need (temptation).

We are created for eternal rest with God and warned that our lives should be characterized by striving to enter that rest.

(1) Your sin can harden your heart; (2) Hard hearts are an attack on God that he won't ignore; (3) Your only hope is to keep holding onto Jesus; (4) You need other Christians to help you do this

Since Jesus is better than Moses we should maintain our regular trust in Him.

God gives us pictures of the startling nature of His Kingdom and His promised King. We see pictures of major kingdom deliverance along with a rescuing, gracious King.
