Hebrews: Christ Is Greater and BetterSmakprov

Pressing On Read Hebrews 5:11–6:12 It is not good enough to just enter God’s rest and remain at the entrance ‘holding firm’. There is a journey to begin. We must grow from drinking milk to eating solid food. We need to understand what God’s heart is like and all that He has done for us to reach maturity. When the mind and heart change, our behaviour and habits become Christlike. The road to Christlikeness is through reading, meditating on and applying God’s word to our life. But here is a word of caution: We need to leave behind arguments about repentance, baptism, the laying of hands and the resurrection as though we could come up with new ideas. Scripture is already clear on these things. Adding, subtracting or changing this foundation leads to a shipwreck of our faith. There is real danger in getting involved in any deviant new teaching. It is the rejection of the goodness of God, shown in the Son, who is superior to all. Those who feed on solid food are able to distinguish good from evil. The family shares physical food together. Likewise the family should feed on spiritual food together. Together we can help each family member grow from drinking milk to eating solid food.
