Hebrews 6:13-20 | What's a lesson for the original audience?
The Anchor of Hope
Therefore we must give the more earnest heed to the things we have heard, lest we drift away.
-Hebrews 2:1
19 This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters the Presence behind the veil
-Hebrews 6:19
-Hebrews 2:1

-Hebrews 6:19
There is a line of messaging that the book of Hebrews has been following. We are in need of holding fast to our hope in faith. Earlier in chapter 2, as you can see above, the writer to the Hebrews advises his audience to give the more earnest heed to those things they have heard lest they drift away. Consider this! How does one drift away at sea? In order for them to drift, they must not be anchored. Well, after drawing out his argument, the author finally gives us the anchor.
The anchor that we possess is hope. It is not just any hope. It is the hope of the promises of God, specifically that in regard to our salvation. Consider this other passage from Paul in 1 Corinthians.

58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
-1 Corinthians 15:58
-1 Corinthians 15:58
How can one be made steadfast and immoveable? Once again, by being anchored. The context of 1 Corinthians is not far from that of Hebrews. Just preceding this text is a passage about the hope that is to come! Jesus is coming back and we will be made incorruptible and immortal! Due to that, we are called to be steadfast. There is something so grounding about holding on to the hope that the Lord has given to us! And with that, we must draw near in faith. Remember the hope in Christ and hold fast to it. I pray our faith may increase.
