Hebrews 3:6 "If we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end." This appears to be a peculiar feature, that it is needful for us to use determination to keep ourselves believing. But we hold the Word of God in our hands. However, we see some who resist it, and we see others who believed but were careless and thus were made cold. And there always are those who never really warmed and have a light approach to that which should mightily grip their hearts. And it has mightily gripped mine.
Does this make sense? Does the Bible say sensibly? It is the one that makes more sense than all the others put together. It is the one that tells from whence we came and where we go and why we are here and who it is to whom we must give an accounting. Those who ignore it do so at their own agony. The encouragements and urgings are set before us.
Why is it said still even to us? He says to us, "Today, if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts?" Hebrews 3:15 Oh, and I confess the tendency of my heart to drift.
