Hebrews 4 continues the author's stark warning that if we are not careful we may fall away. That may seem at odds with the assurance we find in the words of Paul, but when read through the lens of Hebrews 3:14 we see that our confidence and our need for vigilance are part of a whole. That is because faith is more than a modernist intellectual assent, it is a commitment that both demands and inspires behavior that reflects our faith.

作者在希伯來書第四章，繼續嚴厲警告：如果我們不小心，很有可能會墮落。這似乎與我們在保羅的話語中找到的保證不一致，但當我們透過希伯來書 3:14 的視角來閱讀時，我們會發現我們的信心和警惕的需要，其實是一個整體的一部分。這是因為信仰不僅僅是一種現代主義人士的知識認同，它更是一種要求並同時激發我們對於信仰委身的一種體現。
