Hebrews 6.1-8

Press on to maturity. Keep trekking down Torah Road. Live the life that you were saved for. Invest your mina well.

Because if not…the picture is pretty grim. For the exodus generation, it was a lifetime of wandering in the wilderness. For these Hebrew believers, the LORD’s discipline might look somewhat different, but their lives would likewise fall short of what the LORD intended for them. They would be worthless for the kingdom.

The same is true for us. I’ve said it before, but we were not saved simply to go to heaven. If so, we would already be there. We were saved on purpose for a purpose. That we might bear fruit for the kingdom. That we might endure suffering for the faith and hold fast our confession firm until the end. That we wouldn’t shrink back, but boldly move forward, storming the gates of hell and rescuing the captives. Going in for just one more.

So, let us not be those who fall back, but those who press on in our pursuit of Jesus. Let’s continue down Torah Road. And let’s do it together.
