DAY 27 - Stimulate one another to love and good deeds

 DAY 27 - Stimulate one another to love and good deeds

Hebrews 10:24-25 “and let’s consider how to encourage one another in love and good deeds, not abandoning our own meeting together, as is the habit of some people, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near.”

Pivot verse in the middle of a powerful chapter…. Everything before this point discusses the ineffectiveness of Old Testament sacrifices…They were just reminders of sin but did not provide deliverance.

Everything after the verse is about the consequences of ignoring the true sacrifice that brings redemption and deliverance from sin.

So, we are to meet together often and encourage each other to live out love and good deeds not as a work to earn salvation - but as a natural reaction to the gift of salvation we have received.

This chapter is more than an encouragement to do this – it is a warning about the price of not doing it…. “The Lord will judge His people”. “It is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God.”

Thank God for the Cross – I no longer am an object of wrath – but now an object of mercy.
