Christ the True and Better - Hebrews 3:7-15 - The True and Better Prophet pt.2

READ: Hebrews 3:1-6How do we hold fast to our confidence and hope? How! - Hebrews 2:1; Hebrews 3:6; 3:14; Hebrews 4:16; Hebrews 6:11-12; 6:15; Hebrews 10:23-25; 10:35-36; 10:39; Hebrews 11:1; Hebrews 12:1Endurance! We must endure with Christ, in Christ, by the faith of Christ. One ministry that the Holy Spirit does for us is confirming our confidence and hope. He reminds us what we must not forget and encourages us what we must hold fast to our Hope. Hebrews 3:7-11 - “Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says,“Today, (this very day) if you hear his voice, 8 (imperative) do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, on the day of testing in the wilderness, 9 where your fathers put me to the test and saw my works for forty years. 10 Therefore I was provoked with that generation, and said, ‘They always go astray in their heart; they have not known my ways.’ 11 As I swore in my wrath, ‘They shall not enter my rest.’” - Psalm 95:7-11Our lasting endurance is in Christ. What Moses could not do for the people of Isreal, Christ has done by transforming the hearts of His people and placing in them the full assurance and confidence of His promises. Hebrews 3:12-15 - “Take care, brothers, lest there be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart, leading you to fall away from the living God. 13 But exhort one another every day, as long as it is called “today,” that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. 14 For we have come to share in Christ, (Hebrews 2:10, 14-18) if indeed we hold our original confidence firm to the end. 15 As it is said, “Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.”
