“So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded. You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised.” Hebrews 10:35-36
The author of Hebrews is addressing former Jews and is simply telling them that to return to the safety of Judaism would mean a loss of eternal reward at the judgment seat of Christ.
To “throw away your confidence” would be to lose conviction about the value of your Christian commitment. Confidence literally is the “boldness to say all things.”
Luther wrote, “They already have the kingdom of heaven, and yet … they will have it even more gloriously when it is revealed”.
“Have done the will of God” means confessing the Gospel through a godly life and a steadfast faith, which is being a great witness. God has promised eternal salvation to all who steadfastly confess Christ.
God’s blessings on your day…
