Hebrews 6:9-10
What is written? (ESV)
Though we speak in this way, yet in your case, beloved, we feel sure of better things—things that belong to salvation. For God is not unjust so as to overlook your work and the love that you have shown for his name in serving the saints, as you still do.
What does it say?
Even though we speak in this way, we are confident of results regarding your salvation. God is just and therefore will not overlook the loving fruit/deeds you’ve done and continue to do in service to the saints.
What is its immediate context?
The Hebrews writer is arguing the “better” things in Christ, contrasting with things from the Old Law these Hebrew Christians had turned from, but apparently were at risk to turn back. He is chastising them for having become “dull of hearing” (5:11) and requiring someone to still need to teach them these “basic principles” (5:12).
How Hebrews 6:9-10 is applied across Bible answers
How are works defined in the Bible?
The Christian's "work" is what God will look at/evaluate/judge; overlooking the Christian's "work" would make God "unjust".
