This entire portion of Hebrews 6:9-20 is off the charts, literally. The salvific nature of the texts bleeds assurance for those who are heirs of the promise.
God is ever-present, always taking notes on our service to Him. We are encouraged to press hard into faith and patience in order to obtain the promise.
The fact that God swore to Himself that He alone would redeem the Elect and bring them to heaven becomes that inward hope, that pushes us closer to Him. It is that sure and steadfast anchor, that is immovable and is settled deep down into the inner place behind the curtain of our soul.
The secret place of our being that is ours. That part of our lives where we will be forced to answer to, and visit someday.The ambiguity and disturbing wonder of death, will become known and understood by all.
There Jesus traveled alone, underneath the dark shadows of sheol, and He conquered it’s power, released it’s grip, and tore the veil, ushering in heavens light to the heirs of promise.
Now standing with arms stretched wide with love and victory His invitations declares, “come and enter into the joy of thy salvation”!!
Jesus indeed paid it all.. all to Him I owe. Sin has left it’s crimson stain.. He washes white as snow! Amen.
