Hebrews 6:4-12
In his message, Ptr. Ep Brion reminds us that we should treat with utmost seriousness our profession of faith and not be Christians in name only.
Introduction:
A number of prominent personalities have walked away from the Christian faith.
I. A Pronounced Reality : Not everyone who attends church is a real Christian (vv4,5a)
- descriptions of pseudo-Christians
II. The Peril of Walking Away: Impossible to bring them back to repentance (vv4-6)
- Apostasy/Falling Away
III. An Excellent Prospect for Real Christians: They will continue to be faithful and inherit the promises (vv7-12)
Challenge:
- Make every effort to confirm your calling and election. (2 Peter 1:10, Phil. 2:12-13)
- Focus on Jesus, the initiator and perfecter of faith. (Hebrews 12:2)
