Refuse To Be Pressured Into Any Form Of Legalistic Practices

 The Person and work of Christ is the heart of the New Testament. We begin our Christian life by getting to know Him as our Savior, but as we grow in grace and deepen our knowledge of Him, we come to know Him better, to love Him more, and to acknowledge Him as our Lord and our God. Hebrews wanted to warn Jewish Christians against returning to the old ways, but it also is an encouragement to all believers to press on to maturity.
 As one reads through Hebrews, we see that the author systematically teaches that the old things have passed away and been replaced with the new, through  Jesus Christ the righteous Who is a prophet greater than Moses, a High Priest greater than Aaron, and a King of kings greater than David. At His first coming, Jesus came as God's Prophet. When He returns, He will come back as God's anointed King. But today, the Lord Jesus is acting as God's great High Priest Who ever lives to make intercession for all who are His children.
 May we heed the warnings within the pages of Hebrews and Refuse To Be Pressured Into Any Form Of Legalistic Practices. Never forget that we are eternally saved and eternally secure in Christ. Our salvation is secure because of what Christ has done and not due to anything that we have or have not done. We are not only SAVED by grace through faith but we are to LIVE every moment of our lives by grace through faith.
Hebrews 10:26 For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for sending Your Son, Jesus Christ, to be our Savior and Lord. Thank You that He is our Prophet, Priest, and King, and for the great work He has done for us at Calvary. We confess that we have not always followed Him as we should, but we humbly pray that in Your power, we will live according to His perfect will. Help us to understand more fully the implications of His death and Resurrection in our lives, and we pray that we would come to know His love more deeply and honor Him in all we say and do. Give us strength to press on to maturity and to embrace the new life of righteousness we have in Him. Thank You for all You have done for us. In Jesus' name we Pray, AMEN.
