Hebrews
The Superiority of Christ
“The Dangers of False Faith”
Hebrews 6:1-8
1Therefore let us leave the elementary doctrine of Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God, 2and of instruction about
washings, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and
eternal judgment. 3And this we will do if God permits.
Hebrews 6:1-8 (ESV)
4For it is impossible, in the case of those who have once been
enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, and have shared in the Holy Spirit, 5and have tasted the goodness of the word of God
and the powers of the age to come, 6and then have fallen away, to
restore them again to repentance, since they are crucifying once
again the Son of God to their own harm and holding him up to
contempt.
Hebrews 6:1-8 (ESV)
7For land that has drunk the rain that often falls on it, and produces a crop useful to those for whose sake it is cultivated, receives a
blessing from God. 8But if it bears thorns and thistles, it is worthless and near to being cursed, and its
end is to be burned.

1 Peter 4:10-11 ESVAs each has received a gift, use it
to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace:
whoever speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God; whoever
serves, as one who serves by the strength that God supplies—in
order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To
him belong glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.
