Hebrews 6:1
Going on Toward Perfection
SUMMARY OF CHAPTER 6: Leaving First Principles. First Principles
Explained. Going on to Perfection. The Fatal Consequences of
Apostasy. Exhortation to Diligence. The Absolute Assurance of God's
Promises.
Leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ. The rudiments,
the milk fitted only for babes.
Let us go on unto perfection. Go on to the higher lessons which
belong to full grown men. The exhortation is to go on from the lessons
of Christian childhood to those of manhood in Christ. See Hebrews 5:13-14.
Not laying again the foundation. To lay the foundation once is
enough, if it is laid right. These first principles are the foundation
of Christian life, but we must build higher and higher upon them.
Of repentance. This was essential in laying the foundation. All
men are commanded to repent. Repentance is essentially a change of the
will, the rebellious will becoming a will to serve the Lord.
From dead works. Some try to save themselves by trusting in their
works, but they are as vain to save as though they were dead.
And of faith toward God. Faith as well as repentance enter into
the foundation. The sinner must believe upon the Lord, and repent. See
Acts 16:31 2:38.
