Hebrews 5:11-6:20
‘Let us... go on to maturity’(6:1). There can be no question of ‘continuing in sin’- ‘God forbid! How can we who died to sin still live in it?’(Romans 6:1-2). We are to become ‘mature people, whose minds are trained by practice to know the difference between good and evil’(5:14). We are to move on to ‘the better things that belong to salvation’(9). It cannot be taken for granted that every believer will ‘go on to maturity’. Some start so well and then they lose their way somewhere along the line. We should read the words of 6:4-8 as a warning. We can so easily become ‘sluggish’ (6:12). When this wrong attitude sets in, things go from bad to worse. Do you want to become ‘worthless and near to being cursed’(8)? Take care. Pray for ‘earnestness in realizing the full assurance of hope until the end’(6:11).
