Warnings From a Place of Love
“But, beloved, we are convinced of better things concerning you, and things that accompany salvation, though we are speaking in this way.” (Hebrews 6:9)
Hebrews is packed with warnings against falling away and returning to old habits of sin and unfaithfulness.
However, the Hebrew writer emphasizes these warnings are not because God believes the worst in us but because He desires and is convinced of better things for us. We should not confuse God’s warnings in the Scripture as a statement that He believes we are hopeless. On the contrary, these warnings are reminders of His love and belief that we can grow and flourish in His kingdom.
His hard words come from a place of love and protection – something we should expect from a Father who loves us.
Matthew 4:4 #Biblebites
