Paul concluded his
epistle to the Hebrews with some brief teachings and statements of counsel.
Read Hebrews 13 and find statements about the following questions:
• How should we treat
strangers and those “in bonds”?
We are reminded not to forget
to help out strangers and those in bonds. Strangers are to be treated like any other person in our
lives. We are to treat them with love and kindness. Hebrews 13:1-2 says, “Let
brotherly love continue. Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby
some have entertained angels unaware” As we become like Christ and follow his
examples at treating strangers like brothers and sisters, we will be able to
become better individuals.
• How is marriage
looked upon?
In Hebrews 13:4 it says, “Marriage is honorable
in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremonger and adulterers God will judge”
Marriage is an important part of our lives in Christ’s eyes. It is part of a
greater plan that enables husband and wife to have children under covenant
where children can be raised in a home where correct principles are established
and they’re taught the message of Christ.
• What warnings are
given about covetousness?
To never covet because it will
bring unhappiness to our lives. When we are content with what we have a appreciate
everything else in life we will receive many blessings.
• What is “the same
yesterday, and to day, and for ever”?
God is the same yesterday, and to day, and
forever. He will always be the same and love us all unconditionally.
• How are we
sanctified?
Through Christ we are sanctified. Because
of him we are able to return back to our Heavenly Father.
• How do we respond
to those who rule over us?
We are to obey those who rule over
us and help them. Through Christ are they called upon their callings.
• Who did Paul ask
the people to pray for?
He asked us to pray for everyone.
