Hebrews 1:4 says that Jesus, who because of His position and work, has “become so much better than the angels, as He has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they”, and the rest of the chapter contrasts Him with them.

“…let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works” Hebrews 10:24. As Christians we are to live and do those things that glorify God, and we are also responsible to encourage and incite one another to do the same! God has so ordained that we need one another; as Christians […]
Hebrews 10:23 says “Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.” You will probably recall that we also talked about holding fast our confession in 4:14; there we talked about our confession of faith in our great High priest, the Lord Jesus Christ, and what the […]
