Scriptural Confirmations # 8

8. 6. One God, one Mediator, Christ (1 Timothy 2:5-6).

God was manifest in the flesh, seen, received up (1 Timothy 3:16).

If we are act faithful, He abideth faithful: He cannot deny Himself (2 Timothy 2:13).

They profess that they know God, but in works they deny Him (Titus 1:16).

He hath in the last days spoken unto us in the Son whom He hath appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds [saecula]; who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, upholding all things by the word of His power [after] He had by Himself made purification of our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; to whom did He ever say, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten Thee? (Psalms 2:7) and He saith, Let all the angels of God worship Him (Psalms 97:7); and many things in Hebrews (1:2-9, 13).

Thou madest Him a little lower than the angels; Thou crownedst Him with glory and honor, and didst set Him over all the works of Thy hands: Thou hast put all things in subjection under His feet. But we see not yet all things put under Him. It became Him for whom are all things, and through whom are all things, to be the author of their salvation (Hebrews 2:7, 8, 10). He is called the chief priest and the high priest (Hebrews 2:17; 3:1). We have a great chief priest that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God (Hebrews 4:14). Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek (Hebrews 5:10; 6:20; 7:1-3, 10-11, 15, 21). Here concerning the new covenant (Jeremiah 31:10-11).

Hebrews 2

Studie

   

1 Therefore we ought to pay greater attention to the things that were heard, lest perhaps we drift away.

2 For if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense;

3 how will we escape if we neglect so great a salvation--which at the first having been spoken through the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard;

4 God also testifying with them, both by signs and wonders, by various works of power, and by gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to his own will?

5 For he didn't subject the world to come, of which we speak, to angels.

6 But one has somewhere testified, saying, "What is man, that you think of him? Or the son of man, that you care for him?

7 You made him a little lower than the angels. You crowned him with glory and honor.

8 You have put all things in subjection under his feet." For in that he subjected all things to him, he left nothing that is not subject to him. But now we don't see all things subjected to him, yet.

9 But we see him who has been made a little lower than the angels, Jesus, because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that by the grace of God he should taste of death for everyone.

10 For it became him, for whom are all things, and through whom are all things, in bringing many children to glory, to make the author of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

11 For both he who sanctifies and those who are sanctified are all from one, for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brothers,

12 saying, "I will declare your name to my brothers. In the midst of the congregation I will sing your praise."

13 Again, "I will put my trust in him." Again, "Behold, here I am with the children whom God has given me."

14 Since then the children have shared in flesh and blood, he also himself in the same way partook of the same, that through death he might bring to nothing him who had the power of death, that is, the devil,

15 and might deliver all of them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

16 For most certainly, he doesn't give help to angels, but he gives help to the seed of Abraham.

17 Therefore he was obligated in all things to be made like his brothers, that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make atonement for the sins of the people.

18 For in that he himself has suffered being tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted.
