The last five volumes contain the verse by verse commentary.

And he was content to be a pilgrim and wanderer till he should reach that city; he was quite willing to dispense with all present comfort for the sake of that glorious future which God set before the eyes of his faith. But sometimes the same seed came under diverse considerations, being the seed of Abraham both according to the flesh and according to the promise; and sometimes the seed itself was diverse, those according to the flesh being not of the promise, and so on the contrary.
The apostle's intention is to harden us to any suffering that may come to us in this mortal life. Ay, heaven itself will not be complete without us who are on the road to it. You have left out the life of the gospel. If a man is sick, he need not commit suicide by taking poison; he can do it just as surely by neglecting to take proper medicines. Sin is gone, wrath is over, for those for whom Christ died; they are perfected for ever through his one great sacrifice. John owen commentary on hebrews full text online novels. They come, and they go, as if they were molehills raised on the surface of the earth, or little mounds of sand made by the children's wooden spades upon the seashore, which the next tide will wash away.

A Christian is not meant to be a solitary being. SubmitterFollow @BibleSupport. But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased. May that be true of every one of us, for our Lord Jesus Christ's sake! Our supply of that virtue is often very short; it is an article of which there is very little in the market, and all of us have need of more of it: "Ye have need of patience, "-. It must be, then, for such as you are, who are hopelessly sinful. It is you who need to be pitied, for sound as your health may be and merry as you look, you are a poor creature, since you have missed the only thing worth living for. " It has not come to that yet with any of you who are now here; you have not shed your blood for Christ yet, for these are not martyr days, so can you be wearied and faint? How near he comes to you and to me by this praying in an agony, even to a bloody sweat, with strong crying, and with weeping!

Eerdmans Publishing Company, 1980. Oh, that we might have Abel's faith, and offer to God the Lamb, -even Christ Jesus, —that we also may be accepted for his sake!
If any of you are sinning and find pleasure without penalty in the self-indulgence, do not congratulate yourself on the apparent immunity with which you violate the laws of virtue, for that is the badge of the reprobate. Men could not constitute themselves high priests; for the appointment was made by God alone. But they would extend this privilege, and mix it with the other, contending that, because they were the children of Abraham according to the flesh, the whole blessing and covenant of Abraham belonged unto them. And what he did as the head of that covenant, as our representative therein, is imputed unto us, as if we had done it, Romans 5:12. The apostle answers this question in the next two verses. All this was by divine appointment; the form of the rooms, the style of the furniture, everything was ordained of God; and that not merely for ornament, but for purposes of instruction. Raise, raise, my soul, thy raptured sight. You cannot soften them, but you can harden them. Owen, John - An Exposition of the Epistle to the Hebrews (7 vols. These men, of whom we are now briefly to read, are a company of God's witnesses; and the apostle calls them, in the next chapter, "a cloud of witnesses, " who, from their lofty seats above, are watching us who are now running the Christian race.

Am I addressing any who are ashamed of Christ, or who are ashamed of God's poor people, and who would not like to be known to be members of a poor church? Why, if you believe that one promise of God, he will be better to you than ten thousand friends who promise to provide for you!

The everlasting covenant, "the glorious gospel of the blessed God, " the purchase of the Savior's blood, the work of the Holy Spirit, -all these shall stand fast for ever, they can never be shaken.
