Untitled Sermon (19)

“Trust the Word of God”

Hebrews 13:9–19 ESV

Do not be led away by diverse and strange teachings, for it is good for the heart to be strengthened by grace, not by foods, which have not benefited those devoted to them. We have an altar from which those who serve the tent have no right to eat. For the bodies of those animals whose blood is brought into the holy places by the high priest as a sacrifice for sin are burned outside the camp. So Jesus also suffered outside the gate in order to sanctify the people through his own blood. Therefore let us go to him outside the camp and bear the reproach he endured. For here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come. Through him then let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that acknowledge his name. Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God. Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they are keeping watch over your souls, as those who will have to give an account. Let them do this with joy and not with groaning, for that would be of no advantage to you. Pray for us, for we are sure that we have a clear conscience, desiring to act honorably in all things. I urge you the more earnestly to do this in order that I may be restored to you the sooner.

Philippians 1:6 ESV

And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.

The despersed Jewish believers there again was being troubled by the Judisers of Philipians, with the proposed idea, of holding on to the belief’s

the Jewish fathers and also incorparating some ideas of food discrepencies and rituals of that belief system, is why so much contrast is compared, an

the supremecy of Christ had done away with sacrificial system.

2. The second error, was attempting go back beyound the introduction the Law and the atonement for sin. The burden of proof was in the credibility of God’s word, and presenting it’s finality.
