An anchor for our soul -- Hebrews 6:16-20 : God's promise of our heavenly hope provides an anchor for our soul. Two immutable things, God's promise and the oath of God should cause us to possess a strong consolation. As Christians we have fled to Christ for refuge. He is the Christian's city of refuge, the only sanctuary for distressed souls.

We are in this world as a ship at sea. The world tosses us in all directions. There is always the danger of being cast away. Our souls are at stake. Heaven is the harbor to which we sail. The temptations, persecutions, and afflictions that we encounter, are the winds and waves from Satan that threaten to shipwreck our soul.

We have an anchor and that anchor is Christ. Without Him we have neither anchor nor hope. The hope of the believer is invisible unto the world. They enter within the veil. How beautiful and wonderful it must be beyond that veil in the heavenly land.
