Unfailing Commitment - Hebrews 13:5
We are in the final chapter of Hebrews. The author has alreadytold the believers to love one another, be hospitable to strangers and not to forget those in prison for their faith. Now there is a call to honour marriage.
Some scholars believe the author was addressing a belief that it was of spiritual merit not to be married, but it’s clear from the text he’s talking about adultery and against a sexual free for all. I have said it before and I will repeat it again Sunday, that I believe the church has failed many people when it has come to teach them about sexual ethics. Too often they have wagged the finger and said “Thou shalt not” and neglected to explain the “why”.
Part of my message will explain the picture marriage paints and why it is important to honour it. This will lead neatly into perhaps one of the most well known verses of Hebrews. “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” It’s a reminder of God’s unfailing commitment to us that cannot be broken. This is Holy Spirit inspired Scripture that will make a difference in our lives. I pray that as we study it we will be encouraged, blessed, and empowered to be the people of God, He has called us to be.
