Hebrews 5:11-6:12
• Concerning Melchizedek– Much is to be said– However it is hard to explain
• Because you have become dull of hearing
– Dullness has made you unproductive• You should be teachers by now
• Yet again, you need to be taught– Elementary principles of the oracles of God
– You’re moving backwards
• Milk partakers – Still living (thinking) in the Old Covenant– Not accustomed to the word of righteousness
• Solid food– For the mature– Trained by practice to discern good and evil
• Therefore– Leave (forsake) (divorce) the elementary– Press on to maturity
– You have failed to move beyond• Dead works & faith towards God
– Hebrews 9:13-14; Acts 4:12
• Instructions about washings baptitismos• Laying on of hands Lev. 1:4; 3:8, 13• Resurrection of the dead & eternal judgment
– You will go on to maturity if God permits
• Those– Who have been enlightened
• Knowledge with out response
– Have tasted of the heavenly gift• 2 Corinthians 9:15; Eph. 2:8
– Partaken of the Holy Spirit• Partakers metachos association not possession
– Having tasted the word of God• Word rhema parts not the whole
– Jeremiah 15:16
– Having tasted the powers of the age to come• Miracles which will highlight Jesus Kingdom still
yet to come
– Warning• Having all of that exposure
• Then falling away– It is impossible to renew them again to repentance
» The opportunity lost—not a salvation known
– Why?
» Since they crucify Jesus to themselves again
» And put Him to open shame
– The illustration—get this• Rain—soil—blessed—cursed
• We are convinced – Of better things for you
• Especially after speaking to you THIS way
– You have been diligent• In your work
• Love towards His name
• Ministering to the saints
• We desire that each of you– Be diligent to take on salvations full assurance– Imitate the faithers who inherit the promises
