if you do what I command you.
15:15 I no longer call you slaves,
because the slave does not understand
what his master is doing. But I have called you friends, because I have revealed to you everything
I heard
from my Father.
15:16 You did not choose me, but I chose you
and appointed you to go and bear
fruit, fruit that remains,
so that whatever you ask the Father in my name he will give you.
15:17 This
I command you – to love one another.

Hebrews 1:1
Introduction: God Has Spoken Fully and Finally in His Son
1:1 After God spoke long ago in various portions and in various ways to our ancestors through the prophets,
Hebrews 2:10
2:10 For it was fitting for him, for whom and through whom all things exist,
in bringing many sons to glory, to make the pioneer
of their salvation perfect through sufferings.
Hebrews 3:11
3:11 “As I swore in my anger, ‘They will never enter my rest!’”
Hebrews 3:14-19
3:14 For we have become partners with Christ, if in fact we hold our initial confidence
firm until the end.
3:15 As it says,
“
Oh, that today you would listen as he speaks! Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.”
3:16 For which ones heard and rebelled? Was it not all who came out of Egypt under Moses’ leadership?
3:17 And against whom was God
provoked for forty years? Was it not those who sinned,
whose dead bodies fell in the wilderness?
3:18 And to whom did he swear they would never enter into his rest, except those who were disobedient?
3:19 So
we see that they could not enter because of unbelief.

Hebrews 4:7-16
4:7 So God
again ordains a certain day, “Today,” speaking through David
after so long a time, as in the words quoted before,
“
O, that today you would listen as he speaks! Do not harden your hearts.”
4:8 For if Joshua had given them rest, God
would not have spoken afterward about another day.
4:9 Consequently a Sabbath rest remains for the people of God.
4:10 For the one who enters God’s
rest has also rested from his works, just as God did from his own works.
4:11 Thus we must make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one may fall by following the same pattern of disobedience.
4:12 For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any double-edged sword, piercing even to the point of dividing soul from spirit, and joints from marrow; it is able to judge the desires and thoughts of the heart.
4:13 And no creature is hidden from God,
but everything is naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must render an account.
Jesus Our Compassionate High Priest
4:14 Therefore since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast to our confession.
4:15 For we do not have a high priest incapable of sympathizing with our weaknesses, but one who has been tempted in every way just as we are, yet without sin.
4:16 Therefore let us confidently approach the throne of grace to receive mercy and find grace whenever we need help.
