LESSON 1 * PART 1 * BOOK 48
Today, If You Will Hear My Voice
Hebrews 3:12-19
Alright, back to where we left off in Hebrews chapter 3. You remember that? The human race’s great dilemma is simply – unbelief!
Now the book of Hebrews. Now, in my own personal opinion (I can’t find that even the great theologians agree) this Book of Hebrews is not written to the dispersed Jews in general. For example, turn back with me to the little Book of James, which is right after Hebrews, so it will be real easy to find. James chapter 1 verse 1 and this points up what I am driving at. Paul does not address this letter to the Hebrews in like manner as James does his letter, because look what James says.
James 1:1
"James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes scattered abroad, greeting."
Now if you will come back to Hebrews chapter 3 as we get ready to move on. Was it the Jerusalem church? Was it the Alexandrian church, because Alexandria, Egypt always had a large Jewish community, a large Synagogue? So maybe that will help a little bit to understand the approach of Hebrews.
Hebrews 3:12a
"Take heed, brethren…" Take heed. Take heed, brethren. Hebrews 3:12
An evil heart of drunkenness? of unbelief, in departing from the living God."
Unbelief! Oh it’s an awful word. Now remember the only sin that will send people to a devil’s hell is unbelief! Unbelief!
Was God serious? Then you remember the first step of unbelief was, "Well can we send in some spies?" God didn’t tell them to send in spies. That was Israel’s idea. That was their first step of unbelief. They couldn’t take God at His Word that the Promised Land was there for the taking.
The proof that it was a land flowing with milk and honey. Fruit trees and flowers and so forth and so when you hear the term "land of milk and honey" look at the big picture. It was a land that provided all the necessities of dairy cattle. Production.
The majority. When it comes to the things of God and the Spirit, the majority is usually wrong. Alright, so Israel now has to be constantly on our mind as they are sitting there at the gates of Canaan at Kadesh-Barnea. God has told them to go in and in their unbelief, they rejected it. Hebrews 3:12
"Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the (One God.) living God."
How many of the religions of this world from all the way back to the present, worship a Living God? Dumb idols, is what it is called in one place. Here we stand as Believers and our Faith is in the Living God! Now, I went through my concordance the other night and I found 28 times from Genesis trough Revelation, where you find this term the Living God. Now you remember, when David confronted old Goliath, that was one of the first times it was used and Goliath had the audacity to try and withstand the Living God! Either the Living God as the God of wrath and judgement, as He was to old Goliath. Or, He’s the Living God who brings joy and peace and bliss to the believer. Alright, now of these 28 times then that the Living God is referred to in your whole Bible, four of them are in Hebrews alone! Four times out of the 28 are in Hebrews. "The Living God!" We don’t worship a dead Christ. Hebrews 9:14
the living God?"
We are serving the Living God! Alright the next one is in chapter 10 and verse 31 if I remember right. My, this Living God can be bliss and joy to the believer but He’s going to be the opposite to the unbeliever.
Hebrews 10:31
of the living God."
The Living God! From eternity past to eternity future, He’s always the same Living God! Now the next one is in chapter 12 verse 22. For the lost person He’s going to be the God of wrath and judgement. It’s going to be an awful thing to fall into the hands of the Living God, but for us:
Hebrews 12:22
"But ye are come unto mount Sion, (Zion) and unto the city of the living God, (not the earthly Jerusalem, but which one?) My, with our knowledge of Scripture and with the unfolding of the power of the Holy Spirit, we are evidenced every day that we are serving a Living God.
Moses wrote that the Nation of Israel would be scattered into every nation under heaven, none excepted. Can you imagine a nation of people as small as Israel. Can you believe a little nation of five million people, living in a geographical area no bigger than part of New Jersey and yet they are in the news everyday! Which proves that we serve a Living God! A God who has been in control of human history now for 6,000 years. How miraculous that God started everything back there in the Garden and left man with a free will. He left nations with a free will. I think I can say, we are not off one hour.God’s Word is true!!
