you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you is you you you you you you you Verse 12 says on is six works baptisms we we and he's and you you six is impossible what the world the you you you they've tasted we you is understand you don't you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you back to you that you said and still have a dark clouded understanding of what salvation is They're literally people they could tell you the same answers because they're observing they could hear what you're saying but not understand it fully in their heart and the apostle Paul is a great example of someone who I'm sure he heard the gospel at some point before, you know, as he's persecuting the church he's persecuting them for their beliefs before you always solve Tarsus a Pharisee going forward and arresting people and persecuting the church and everything He had to have heard the gospel in order to even go out and be persecuting them But he didn't understand it Right. He didn't get it It's one of those things that he was he was shown the mercy and everything because he did it Ignorantly in unbelief and we'll get to that pastor. I think that's in my notes here. Anyway, yeah, it is It's in let's just look at it right now real quick first Timothy chapter 1 If you don't have to turn if you want to I'll read it for you first Timothy chapter 1 verse 12 The Bible says and I thank Christ Jesus our Lord who hath enabled me for that He counted me faithful putting me into the ministry who was before a blasphemer and a persecutor and injurious, but I obtained mercy because I did it ignorantly in unbelief ignorantly in Unbelief, you know what ignorant means he wasn't enlightened He didn't know any better He was doing what he actually thought to be the right thing and he did it ignorantly because he just didn't know and people who are ignorant and don't know if They reject the gospel because they don't even understand it. That is not when someone goes reprobate It's not when they're turned over reprobate mind if they don't even understand the gospel and you think they're rejecting it. No They have to know they have to understand they have to be made partaker They have to hear and know and say no, I am not accepting that And when you know the gospel, I mean when like when you just have that full understanding It It's kind of hard to imagine that there are people who would turn and say no but it's but it's a fact and I think we see just in real life the very few number of people who that we could confidently say are reprobate people It's a very small percentage of people that actually gets that point but this is representative of those people who They've heard they know they understand and they said no and once they make that decision they say no It's similar to okay When you get to that point of just having the knowledge and having an enlightenment You're you're gonna be born again one way or the other You're gonna accept and be born again unto eternal life You're gonna reject and be a come a child of the devil and be born as a child of Satan unto eternal death and damnation there are people that get to this point it's one or the other and As much as it's impossible for a person who's born again and saved to ever lose that salvation to ever No longer be a child of God or to you know, no longer every time. No, you always have eternal life Well, the same thing is true for those Who go the other way to become a child of Deborah though. It is impossible to renew them again in repentance They're never gonna be able to get back to that point of being able to make that decision again It's impossible Why would they be crucifying themselves? So we got a fresh and put them to open shame because they already knew about it They already knew what Christ did for him and they rejected it They had their chance It's done There's a big difference between knowing the truth and reject it and being ignorant. I'm going to turn if you go to Acts chapter 3 Because here are some of the people that Crucify Jesus we're gonna see what's what's said about them Just like when Jesus said father forgive them for they know not what they do. They were ignorant They didn't know what they were doing many of the people who participated in the crucifixion of Christ didn't really know They were ignorant verse 14 of Acts chapter 3 the Bible says but ye denied the Holy One in the just and Desired a murderer to be granted unto you and killed the prince of life Whom God hath raised from the dead Whereof we are witnesses and his name through faith in his in his name hath made this man strong whom ye see and know Ye the faith Excuse me, which is by him Have given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all and now brethren I what I what means I know That through ignorance ye did it as did also your rulers I know that you did this through ignorance ignorance means you didn't know But Those things which God before had showed by the mouth of all those prophets that Christ should suffer he hath so fulfilled I know you're ignorant about this, but look God knew about this and God prophesied about this happening, and you know what it happened It was fulfilled verse 19 repent ye therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out when the times of refreshing shall come from the Presence of the Lord and he shall send Jesus Christ which before was preached unto you So you're saying you didn't know which is why he's calling them to repent He said he himself in 1st Timothy 1 turn if you would to Romans 1 he himself Didn't know he was ignorant. He did a lot of bad things But he was able to receive grace and mercy once he finally knew and accepted Okay, he repented he changed his mind on who Christ was he changed his mind on what was required to be saved He got saved. It wasn't impossible for him It wasn't impossible to the to the people that were being preached to in Acts chapter 3 because they didn't know any better But the meat of the word explains that there are people who have heard and have understood and they can't be saved Why is that the meat because the vast majority of people are not in that category Because the majority of the teaching of the Bible just in general is Hey except Christ right to everybody and he died for the sins of the whole world and God's you know We're God so loved the whole world That's the overarching message of the Bible which inappropriately of course But when you actually dig into it, you know what there's a little bit more to it and We don't get into this doctrine specifically at the door out soul winning in general Because you don't want it to be any Confusing at all or try to muddy up the gospel the gospel is really clear and I literally on Sunday I was talking to someone and man. I thought this guy was gonna get saved like he was paying attention Listening asking really good questions Understanding in my it my perception of what I was saying and then he asked this question about so Then that would mean Jeffrey Dahmer's in heaven Okay, and I said No, I said I don't believe that But I understand why you would say that And I always say this with people because because I don't want to muddy up the gospel at all with someone who's not saved I'll say I'm gonna explain why I don't believe he was saved. Okay, I believe that his confession was false But if he did truly believe on the Lord Jesus Christ in his heart, then he is saved I Don't believe that he is But if he really put his trust in Jesus Christ to be a Savior then yes He would be because the gospel is that whosoever shall call upon his name shall be saved The gospel is that hey you believe you're saved Okay, no matter what you've done because Jesus Christ paid for all of your sins, okay that that that is the truth So if he did that, yes, he's saved That's why I make sure that's a real clear about that because it's an extreme example but then I explain that there's actually some people where it's impossible for them to believe and and it takes a while to kind of explain this because you're trying to just Show them the simplicity of the gospel of Christ and most likely they're not in that category Anyway, so it's kind of like look let's just get you say first before we get you into the strong meat of the word And I just explained and I didn't take a lot like I just kind of said look there's a people out there They can't believe this is why they do these weird unnatural things and God's given them over and all this other stuff. Okay? We Don't want to Make things difficult because it is them you don't talk about some of the more difficult doctrines understand and teach and prove with someone who's a babe or Isn't even saved This is the subject matter of Hebrews chapter 6 We're going on then unto perfection to really understand the ins and outs When we just got done talking about all the things regarding salvation. Hey, let's dig in a little bit deeper now Let's really understand What's going on here? now we contrast The person who hey, I want that through ignorance. You did it as it also you're rude Hey, I know that you were ignorant possible says hey I obtain mercy because I did it ignorantly on an unbelief with Romans 1 21 that says because that when they knew God They knew God they were enlightened about God They glorified him not as God neither were thankful Why would they be thankful? They were made partakers. They understood. They tasted the good word of God. It was right there But became vain in their imaginations and their foolish heart was darkened they knew better and They still chose to reject and I'm not we're not gonna go through the rest of Romans 1 You know what Romans 1 says we preach it enough Read it later If you don't know what it says It goes on to explain describe the reprobate the attributes of reprobate God gave them over to reprobate mine God gave them up. God gave them over God gave them up three times talking about them being rejected. Okay as a result of their Understanding and knowing the right way knowing who God was knowing the gospel and rejecting it It's exactly what Hebrews chapter 6 is teaching here Turn if you go to Hebrews chapter 12 We're gonna get to this a little bit later again But I want you to just to see this real quick because this is also in the context of just Hebrews as a book We'll get into this later and get a more full picture as we continue to go through all these chapters But look at verse number 16 Bible says lest there be any fornicator or profane person as Esau Who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright for ye know how that afterward when he would have inherited the blessing He was rejected For he found no place of repentance though. He sought it carefully with tears Jacob If I love but Esau have I hated Rejected from the inheritance Rejected from inheriting the blessing why he sought for repentance. He sought for it, but you know, it's too late Couldn't find it anymore He tried to repent you know what once he rejected it was impossible renewed again unto repentance Though he sought it carefully with tears, you know who that reminds me of Judas Iscariot He sought for repentance man. He didn't want to change his mind after backstabbing Jesus after being the traitor He wanted to return that money. He wanted to go back and say no. No, let's undo this I didn't really want this to happen. You understand look you've already done it. You're already a traitor. You're already a devil too late You're already a child of the devil. You can't go back on it no matter how bad you feel There are people who are reprobates that yes They are mortified and devastated and sad and they end up taking their own life many times like Judas Iscariot Did because they put themselves in his predicament, but there's no way out Because they are cursed Matthew 27 3 I'll read this for you turn if you would to Proverbs chapter 1 then Judas which had betrayed him When he saw that he was condemned repented himself You know what? He didn't repent himself unto salvation. He didn't put all of his trust in Jesus Christ He changed his mind about betraying Jesus. That's it. He didn't trust Christ as a Savior he just was upset that he did something so bad and treacherous and Wanted to take that back And brought again the 30 pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders trying to you know Oh look say I've sinned and that I betrayed the innocent blood and they said what is that to us see doubts that It's funny. Who did he go to to get things right? The priests the Pharisees right that the the evil wicked rulers in high places That were the ones hiring him to do it He didn't go to God to get things right? He didn't try to go to you know to the Lord He went to those people. Oh here just take your money back. Look you've already made a deal with the devil, man There's no you can't you can't take that back He sought for repentance With tears couldn't find it Couldn't find it. He was rejected. He cast down the silk pieces of silver in the temple depart and went hang himself That's some serious grief and sorrow and repentance but not salvation Proverbs 127 when your fear cometh as desolation and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind when distress and anguish cometh upon you Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer they shall seek me early But they shall not find me for that they hated knowledge and did not choose the fear of the Lord They would none of my counsel. They despised all my reproof They heard they understood they knew and he says no Now when you're finally gonna look for me, you won't find me Because it's too late Because it's impossible It's impossible for those Who once knew who were once enlightened who once were made partakers who once were at the doorstep of? Salvation and understood all it's impossible if they fall away if they reject it to renew them again in repentance. It's impossible It's pretty clear It's pretty clear hopefully you understand this, you know this stern warning it's not for people who are saved This stern warning. It's for people who have heard God's Word and are dull of hearing The people he's talking to in Hebrews chapter 5 he was already saying you're dull of hearing If Any of you are unsaved I mean he's like you don't understand any of this stuff Maybe you're not even saved Either you're just been babies for a really long time or you've been hearing and hearing and hearing and hearing and hearing and hearing You need to get that understanding and get saved Because you don't want to get to the point of hearing Understanding and rejecting because then there's you don't have any more time to think about it. You're done You can't go back and change your mind. Go away. No, I'm actually no I really do think no you can't Once you cross that line It's done That's the warning It's to the people who are dull of hearing just as Jesus said in Matthew 13. Did I return to Matthew 13 or no? Turn to go to Matthew chapter 13 verse number 13 Bible says therefore speak I to them in parables because they seeing see not and hearing they hear not Neither do they understand and in them is fulfilled the prophecy of his eyes Which sayeth by hearing you shall hear and shall not understand and seeing you shall see It shall not perceive for this people's heart is waxed gross and their ears are dull of hearing It's the same phrase used in Hebrews chapter 5 Your ears are dull of hearing when for the time you ought to be teachers, right? Of whom we have many things to say and hard to be uttered seeing ye are dull of hearing that's Hebrews 5 11 Now I don't think he's saying For sure that these people that he's talking to in Hebrews chapter 5 are reprobate, but I think he's giving the warning Because the people that are being referred to then in Matthew 13 He's saying this is just a fulfillment of the prophecy of the people who've heard they've heard the Word of God heard the Word of God, you know what they didn't want to hear it. They closed their ears. They stopped they hardened their heart and now He's gonna just speak to them in parables Because they can't believe And he's purposely not gonna be super clear with them For them to believe because they've already made their choice For this people's heart is waxed gross their ears are dull of hearing in their eyes They have closed lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears I mean if you read this what he's saying in verse 13 Therefore speak I to them in parables And he's saying unless in verse 15 when you Unless at any time they should see with their their eyes and hear with their ears and should be and and should understand with their Heart and be converted and I should heal them But it's not gonna happen Because they've already become dull of hearing They've already stopped their ears. They've already stopped their heart. They've already hardened themselves. They already became obstinate in their heart But blessed are your eyes for they see in your ears for they hear There's a cursing and a blessing Because in Hebrews chapter 6 there's cursings and blessings are they're not But let's not mistake who the cursings and blessings are for they're not all for the saved It's not cursings and blessings or say there's cursings for the reprobate and blessings for the same Just as Jesus was warning and in Matthew 13 Blessed are your eyes for they see in your ears for they hear 2nd Peter chapter 2. Let's turn to 2nd Peter chapter 2 Famous passage talking about reprobates, right? I hope I don't have to prove that Talking about the false prophet the book of Jude 2nd Peter chapter 2 parallel passages have the same content in many places Same subject matter for sure talking about people who are false prophets who are the reprobate they're rejected Very Interesting passage here lines up perfectly with what Hebrews chapter 6 is teaching look at verse number 17 These are wells without water Clouds that are carried with a tempest to whom the mist of darkness is reserved forever For when they speak great swelling words of vanity they allure through the lusts of the flesh through much wantonness Those that were clean escaped from them who live in error while they promised them liberty they themselves are the servants of corruption for of whom a man is overcome of the same as he brought in bondage for if after they have escaped the Pollutions of the world look at this through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ They've escaped the pollution to the world through the knowledge of Lord save you they are in tank They're again entangled there in and overcome the latter end is worse with them than the beginning For it had been better leavers 21 it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness Then after they have known it to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them It's better for people to just not know and hear the truth and hear the gospel Then to hear it and reject it knowingly Because at least the person who hasn't heard can hear and still maybe get saved, but the person who hears and understands and Rejects it Done Done The this is like Hebrew 6 right here This this stumbles people the same way Hebrew 6 does the people who believe you could lose your salvation They turn to 2nd Peter chapter 2 they'll turn to Hebrews chapter 6 Because in both instances they think it's talking about someone who's saved and in both instances. It's not It's not Somehow people who had known they had heard they knew better Maybe they started look and the people who are you know these reprobates oftentimes. You're good. They'll be a false prophet They're teaching. They're around church people you may see them living a different life or whatever But They didn't ever actually receive and that's why I said you can't always know you can't see the heart. You don't always know that So you know it practically for us We give people benefit the doubts Almost to a fault right I mean as much as we possibly can because we don't know the heart We don't know what other people fully understand The best we can get at it is by asking questions right because out of abundance the heart mouth speak it But even then you it's impossible to know somebody's understanding Because as I said before People can say the right answers and still not understand The perfect example for me is is a lot of Presbyterians That's what I grew up as and those have been some of the hardest people for me to win to Christ Because there's something about it where they could give you all the right answers As far as salvation is concerned Grace through faith no works absolutely 100% and this is what I was taught growing up to No works 100% faith in Christ Okay, Jesus Christ got right God right Trinity right, you know right doctrine on who Christ is sinless the Savior He did all the work. We do nothing It's faith alone And it's eternal All of those doctrines you could add and I'm not speaking for every single branch of Presbyterianism, but the ones that I've that I had Contact with and the people I have the hardest time I've had the hardest time trying to win to Christ Can give you all the right answers and As people I've talked to where I just still think no matter what we're talking about no matter what's in the Bible They don't have the understanding. They have the understanding still of a natural man. Not as someone who has a Spirit of God Just no just just not getting anything, but they could tell you the right answers And I don't think it's because they're reprobate. I don't think it's because they understood the gospel and rejected it I think they never fully understood it and People who get something that's very close to the very close to the truth, but it's still perverted In a way and their understanding is perverted like oftentimes with with with Presbyterian. It's gonna be the Calvinism garbage Right you at the end of the day. You're gonna have a different God Well, why do you believe that it's that you can never lose it? Well because if God chose me then I'll never you know Then then you can never lose it and it kind of goes back to that oftentimes and that's but but if you ask Ask all the right questions from the beginning. It's it could appear as if Well, they must be saved then but they may not be because they may still be ignorant about something that they're just not quite grasping They're not quite they haven't really put their trust alone in Christ It's out there so my point is we don't always know but the truth of the matter is There are people that when they do know and when they do hear and when they do reject They're done That's it Verse 22 there and I do turn second Peter to but it has happened unto them according to the true proverb The dog is turned to his own vomit again and the sow that was washed who are wallowing in my look They were a dog before they got washed They were a dog after they got washed and a dog that returned to their own vomit That's who the that's who the false prophet is. That's who the reprobate could you know, like you can say? Oh, but they cleaned up their life. This is the sodomite who stopped practicing homosexuality Right. Well, they cleaned up. Yeah, but they were a dog before They're still a dog now, even if they're not eating their own vomit yet, but you know what give them enough time They're gonna go back to eating their own vomit again Oh Same thing with the pedophile. Oh They you know, they were a dog They did dog fit like things. Oh, they stopped doing the disgusting things for a little while They're gonna go back to it Let's go back to Hebrew 6 We Haven't even gotten to the part that I think is the most convincing point honestly As I said before I have no doubt about this at all and if you believe different like I said god bless you Okay, that's fine But at least hopefully you could have an understanding of where I'm coming from This isn't just something that Oh Bezaburz and she's just going along with whatever someone no I've studied this out Quite a bit. We're digging into the meat of the word tonight Look at verse number seven for the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh off the punnet and Bringeth forth herbs meat for them by whom it is dressed receiveth blessing from God But that which beareth thorns and briars is Rejected and is nigh unto cursing whose end is to be burned Turn if you would to Matthew chapter 7 This is not a Reference to the parable of the sower of the Christian who The concerns and the cares of this world have choked him out You know that that was sown among thorns The seed that was sown among thorns didn't bear thorns It was choked out by the thorns, but it was in the thorn bush that brought forth that seed They Didn't become fruitful because of the thorns Hebrews 6 says that which beareth thorns and briars is not as rejected You bear bad fruit It's because you came from a bad tree. It's because you have a bad seed. It's because you're twice dead and If you bear good fruit, it's because you came from the good seed from the good Word of God Matthew 7 15 beware of false prophets which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they're ravening wolves He shall know them by their fruits Do men gather grapes of thorns or figs of thistles? That which beareth thorns and briars is rejected is What Hebrews 6 says? You don't get the good fruit from the thorns and the thistles Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit But a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit a good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down and what cast into the fire Whose end is to be burned? Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them This is much different than And I'll read this for you Matthew 13 you can flip over there in Matthew 7 Matthew 13 7 and some fell among Thorns in the thorns sprung up and choked them But other fell into good ground and brought forth fruit some in hundredfold some 60 fold some 30 fold Who have ears to hear let him hear Some fell among thorns the thorns sprang up and choked them Who the good seed the good fruit? They weren't bearing the thorns the thorns pierced them And in Hebrew 6 clearly says that which Beareth thorns and briars it's bringing forth the thorns Everything bearing thorns in the Bible is cursed Going all the way back to Creation and this in sin when death was brought into the world What happened the ground was cursed? right because of Adam sin The earth was cursed the ground was cursed and what was the result of that curse? Let's read I'll read it for you Genesis 3 17 and add an unto Adam He said because I was hearkened unto the voice of my wife and that's eaten of the tree of which I commanded these saying thou Shalt not eat of it cursed is the ground for thy sake So I'm gonna curse the ground for your sake in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee and thou shalt eat the herb of the field The thing that's cursed bears thorns and briars The reprobate brings forth thorns why because they're cursed children The cursed heathen The Canaanites the Hittites the Hivites the Parisites of the land that were not cast out as they should have been Became what thorns to Israel? numbers 3355 But if you will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you then it shall come to pass That those which ye let remain of them shall be pricks in your eyes and thorns in your sides and shall vex you in the land Where any dwell and those are the people that if you have the good seed cast among those thorns they may Persuade a person to become unfruitful They may entice somebody to go after the ways of the devil Even though they're saved Even though if they were to go forth and bear fruit, they'd bear good fruit, but these thorns have choked them out Just like they did in Baal Peor With the fornication Second Samuel 23 6 but the sons of Belial shall be all of them as thorns thrust away Because they cannot be taken with hands sons of Belial children of the devil reprobates They're the thorns They bear the thorns You Go back to Hebrews 6 This couldn't be clearer Seriously I Said before I understand where people come from that it believed different I understand Where they get to their conclusions, but it's wrong It's wrong, okay Verse Number nine, but beloved The Apostle Paul even though he's been hard on them even it says hey look man for the time you ought to be teachers You've been doing hearing you don't want to hear we can't even teach you the difficult things the meat of the word because you're like babies Right. This is what he was saying. Just a few, you know, not very long earlier Right a few other say few paragraphs if you whatever not that long in his letter in this epistle to the Hebrews He's just gets done saying look man you guys you know You're dull of hearing you don't want to hear this up. Let's get into the meat of the word because here's what happens people become reprobate Because it's impossible once you know then if you fall away to be renewed again under repentance So listen up and pay attention But he's not saying this because he actually thinks they're reprobate because he says in verse 9 but beloved we are persuaded better things of you and things that accompany salvation Though we thus speak even though we're bringing this up to you We still think that you're saved and that you're gonna bring for things that accompany salvation like good fruit We're Teaching you this stuff about the person who brings forth the bad fruit and how it's impossible for them to get saved But look we don't actually think you're not saved. That's what he's saying Just how this makes sense So even though we say this stuff, you know, we're persuaded better things of you Verse 10 for God is not unrighteous To forget your work and labor of love Which you have showed toward his name and that you have ministered to the Saints and do minister. So I'm gonna start bring up some of the good things about the people he's writing to Look, we know You know God's still faithful to bless you for the good things you've done and We desire that every one of you do show the same diligence To the full assurance of hope unto the end that ye be not slothful But followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises They've been rebuked for being babies and not exercising what they've learned in order to grow and understand more So now he's exhorting them look don't be lazy with this You've been around for a long time. You've been exposed to the Word of God quite a bit. We know you're saved We know that you've been you know, you've done good things. You've ministered to the Saints. You've been very helpful in that matter Okay, but don't get lazy Be not slothful but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the Promises for when God made promise to Abraham because he could swear by no greater he swear by himself Saying surely blessing I will bless thee and multiplying I will multiply thee and So after he had patiently endured He obtained the promise An exhortation to continue to strive to keep going to work harder. Why because God's faithful and Abraham's a good example of someone who remained faithful You know what it might have been a long journey it might have taken a while, but you did God's faithful Verse 16 for men verily swear by the greater and an oath of confirmation is to them an end of all strife So when men make us an oath or swearing they appeal to someone greater than themselves That's what people say I swear to God Right. They're not going to appeal to you know, some people say well I you know, I swear on my mom or I swear on my dad They say well, you know what your mom and dad is greater than them Right, and that's why people will say things like that. But then the highest authority you go to is why swear by God right and Men do this men verily swear by the greater and an oath of confirmation Saying no, I'm gonna say this to be true This is confirming my words when I swear in the name, you know by the name of God someone's greatest It should be an end of all strife Can't say anything anymore right because that should cancel the argument. Well, if you're gonna if you're gonna invoke the name of the Lord as Your you know your oath you're swearing by And you know why it's an end of all strife too because oh man if you're gonna do that Well, if you're wrong man, that's on you that's on you. All right, you're gonna go that far. Okay, that's on you Because we know God's not mocked So you're gonna start invoking God's name and you know what people today kind of think it's just a big joke It's not a joke. Don't don't You may think it's a joke and God is not mocked who do you think it's gonna win What do you think is really gonna happen? God's not mocked a 17 we're in God willing more abundantly to show unto the heirs of promise the Immutability of his counsel confirmed it by an oath now Immutability means it can't be changed It's unchangeable. It's what immutable means. There's no way you could change it. So It says here God willing more abundantly to show unto the heirs of promise to people who are saved the immutability so the Unchanging this unwavering of his counsel of his truth of what he's telling them Confirmed it by an oath that by two Immutable things in which it was impossible for God to lie. We might have strong Consolation who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us What are the two immutable things one is that God can't lie That's an unchanging truth. God cannot lie And Number two is the promise that God made of eternal life. That's also unchanging That is a solid fact God has promised eternal life and he can't lie just like Titus 1 2 says and Hope of eternal life which God that cannot lie promised before the world began Those are two immutable things Unchangeable and he's giving them this hope this confidence This all makes sense because he was just talking about the people who have no hope because the reprobate You we already know you're good. You have this hope and You could have this confidence. You don't have to doubt you don't have to worry But you know what here's some meat of the word and this is true Verse 19 Which hope We have as an anchor of the soul You want to stay grounded and rooted down man that that was the anchor do it provides stability Right, you're on that big ship and you're being drug all over the place. That's right. You drop anchor What are you gonna do? You're gonna hold fast where you are. You're gonna stay put that's a whole point of having that anchor right well the hope that we have in The unchangingness and the faithfulness of our Savior of our Lord Savior Jesus Christ that that God can't lie and he has promised eternal life We don't have to have any doubts or worries about the earlier portions of Hebrew 6 for us. We know we're saved we know we don't have to worry about the You know falling away and not being renewed again unto repentance. We have that hope firm under the end Both sure and steadfast in which entereth into that within the veil Whether the forerunners for us entered even Jesus made in high priest forever After the order because and again, we're gonna get into the order because of that soon Like I said before it is mentioned quite a bit in in many chapters in the book of Hebrews.

This is this is kind of the best presentation. I think I could do on this subject Okay, and I'm not interested in an argument or debate either on this subject I'm not interested in it. If you have questions for me, I'd be happy to answer them further Okay, but I am I am not interested anymore because I have studied this out and unless there's something something new or something different that Maybe I haven't heard I'm open to that But I would not be standing up here and teaching this so vehemently if I wasn't fully Persuaded and convinced in my heart about this not to say that I'm never wrong again I'm not not trying to get that impression at all give that impression but You know some things you're very sure of and this is one of those things It just the evidence is there just makes perfect sense of what this is talking about Like I said, you believe different fine. So as long as you're as long as you're not talking about losing your salvation We're all good or some other damnable heresy or something, right? That's those are the things that we have a problem with but believers who have slight variance Whatever as far as that word of prayer Dear Lord, we love you.
