SUMMARY OF CHAPTER SIX
Chapter Six is a continuation of the rebuke introduced in Chapter Five for failure to reach maturity in the Christian life. It begins with a strong exhortation to make progress, and points out the tragic consequences of apostasy. No new motive for repentance can be found for those who turn away from Christ to put themselves again in that group which crucified the Lord.
In spite of their sluggishness, the author hoped that those to whom he was writing would respond to his message about the completeness of Christianity as expressed in a life of faithful devotion to Christ. The example of Abraham is cited for their encouragement. They also are reminded that the sure, steadfast hope rests on Jesus, who is High Priest after the order of Melchizedek.
