GOD’S PROMISE: THE ANCHOR FOR OUR SOUL (158 downloads)
Hebrews 5:11-6:20
Key Verse: 6:19 “We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain.”
1. Why do some Christians remain like an infant, unwilling to know Christ deeply? (5:11-6:3)
2. Given that the Bible teaches the eternal security for those who are in Christ (cf. John 6:37), who are the people the author is referring to in verses 6:4-6?
3. How did the author encourage and counsel his listeners to persevere to the end (6:11-12)? How did Abraham show a good example (6:13-15)?
4. What two unchangeable things has God given us to hold on to (6:18)? How does this encourage us to hold on to our hope?
5. What is “this hope” in verse 6:19? How does the metaphor of an anchor help us understand the security that this hope gives? (cf. Hebrews 9:12; Matthew 27:51)
