For the Love of Us All

A SUMMARY OF

THE BOOK OF HEBREWS

The author

Of the book of Hebrews-is unknown

It may be by any

Or all of the following:

Apollos-Barnabas-Clement-Luke

-Paul-Priscilla-or Silas

This letter

Refers to a small group of Hebrews

Located in Rome

Probably believers about 65 or 70 AD

The persecution of the new church

Is at hand

And many of he new followers

Are taking some steps backwards

The author of this book

Expresses the freedom

Found in Christ

And appeals to their knowledge

Of the Old Testament

To HOLD ON to their faith

This writer

Appeals to the Jewish Christians

By telling them

That their present suffering for Christ

Will be followed

By eternal glory with him

The author stresses

That the NEW COVENANT though Christ

Replaces the old covenant

And that the price

Is PAID IN FULL

By the blood of Jesus Christ

And he stresses that Christianity

Is MORE THAN a religion

It is A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP

With our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ

He encourages us be defining FAITH

And detailing the lives of:

Abel-Enoch-Noah-Abraham-Isaac-Jacob-Joseph-and Moses

Jesus has already won the victory

And we are to SHARE our testimony

With each other

To strengthen and encourage one another
