  1. A guarantee or surety is something that can be counted on. It is something that can be believed. Jesus can
  2. We have fled to a place of refuge because Jesus Christ is our place of safety. He alone is our refuge from the evil of the world. We look to the Lord for protection from the evil one. The Lord is our shield. Our trust is in Him. We are to take hold of this hope because it is the only thing that we have to rely on. If it does not come from the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit it will not protect us. Hoping something is true carries doubt, but the Christian hope carries certainty of what you believe in Christ Jesus. An anchor illustrates the idea of hope because of the strength of the materials the anchor is made from. We know that once the anchor is thrown into the water the boat will not drift away because the boat will be held in its place.
  3. The effect it has on the Christian life is that with surety both faith and patience allows a person to continue the road to heaven in peace knowing that they will see Jesus face to face someday. When a person thinks that salvation depends upon on their endurance it becomes boasting with pride that it was because of what they did and not what Christ did for them on the cross. They forget that it is by God
  4. There is not much difference in the Christian then and the Christian today. We get caught up in being so religious that we somehow forget the true meaning of what the Gospels has to say about God, and we start to do things our way. I believe the writer
  5. The Lord Jesus accomplished what He set out to do when He decided to be the sacrificial lamb and die on the cross to save all those how called on His name and believed that He was the Son of God and that God raised Him from the dead. He would be Lord over our lives.
  6. Jesus learn obedience from what He suffered because it was God
  7. I believe that if Jesus said that you are allow to come we have nothing to fear. We should have deep faith; I believe that that is the boldness and the confidence. The promise is that we will receive grace from God. He gives mercy and grace because of what Jesus Christ did for us on the cross. God is a loving God and all He ever wanted to do in the first place is show us mercy and grace through His love for us and our love for Him.
  8. The Lord Jesus took on our weaknesses in His flesh as the sin that He himself never committed. He was tempted with pride, greed, ****, covetness. I believe when Jesus was tempted He suffered for us and our weakness. No we do not have any temptations that Jesus didn
  9. I believe it means to enter heaven where it is so much peace and the love of God. If you don
  10. The importance of faith in our relationship to Christ is that we cannot please Him without faith. At this point in our lives we cannot physically see Him but we must trust that He is there and that He will do what He says He will do. Sin tricks us with guilt when we do something that is wrong. Or it will show us something that is counterfeit to something that is good and of God. Sin hardens us by tricking us to think that we cannot do without the sinful act or thing so we try to close our minds to the fact that it is wrong for us. The value of Christian fellowship that keeps our faith strong comes from accountability. A brother or sister in Christ can make you accountable by reminding, or rebuking you when you are about to commit a sin. They will help you back on the road to Christ through scripture and prayer.
  11. The Jews were being distracted by a great many of things and people. The writer was letting the readers know that there only hope was in Jesus Christ the savior of their souls. The same thing is true for us today we have even more distractions in our time. We have a tendency to get caught up in things that have nothing to do with the commands of God. That causes us to sin against God. So if we hold on to Christ the one who never sinned and have faith in Him we can overcome any temptation. If we don
