How preachers through history handled this text
17 public-domain excerpts on Hebrews 6, from the church fathers to the Puritans.
“The hope here meant, is a sure looking for good things promised, through those promises, with love, desire, and valuing of them. Hope has its degrees, as faith also. The promise of blessedness God has made to believers, is from God's eternal purpose, settled between the eternal Father, Son, and Spirit. These promises of God may safely be depended upon; for here we have two things which cannot change, the counsel and the oath of God, in which it is not possible for God to lie; it would be contrary to his nature as well as to his will. …”
— Matthew Henry, Commentary on the Whole Bible (Concise), on Hebrews 6:11–30 (Public Domain)
