To: ALL WHO HAVE EARS TO HEAR
From; GOD THE FATHER, THE LORD JESUS CHRIST
HIS SON and Ministered through the HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD, The Helper,
that He may be with you forever. [John 14:16]
Subject: MY WORD
Hebrews 4:12–5:6 (NASB95) 12 For the word of God is living and active
and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of
soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and
intentions of the heart. 13 And there is no creature hidden from His
sight, but all things are open and laid bare to the eyes of Him with whom we
have to do. 14 Therefore, since we have a great high priest who
has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our
confession. 15 For we do not have a high priest who cannot
sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we
are, yet without sin. 16 Therefore
let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive
mercy and find grace to help in time of need. 1 For every high
priest taken from among men is appointed on behalf of men in things pertaining
to God, in order to offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins; 2 he
can deal gently with the ignorant and misguided, since he himself also is beset
with weakness; 3 and because of it he is obligated to offer sacrifices
for sins, as for the people, so also for himself. 4 And no one takes
the honor to himself, but receives it when he is called by God, even as
Aaron was. 5 So also Christ did not glorify Himself so as to become
a high priest, but He who said to Him, “You
are My Son, Today I have begotten You”; 6 just as
He says also in another passage, “You
are a priest forever According to
the order of Melchizedek.”
Hebrews 5:6–6:3 (The Living Bible) 6 And another time God said to him, “You have been chosen to be a
priest forever, with the same rank as Melchizedek.” 7 Yet while Christ was here on earth he
pleaded with God, praying with tears and agony of soul to the only one who
would save him from premature death. And God heard his prayers because of his
strong desire to obey God at all times. 8 And even though Jesus was
God’s Son, he had to learn from experience what it was like to obey when
obeying meant suffering. 9 It was after he had proved himself
perfect in this experience that Jesus became the Giver of eternal salvation to
all those who obey him. 10 For remember that God has chosen him
to be a High Priest with the same rank as Melchizedek. 11 There is
much more I would like to say along these lines, but you don’t seem to listen,
so it’s hard to make you understand. 12 You have been Christians a
long time now, and you ought to be teaching others, but instead you have
dropped back to the place where you need someone to teach you all over again
the very first principles in God’s Word. You are like babies who can drink only
milk, not old enough for solid food. And when a person is still living on milk
it shows he isn’t very far along in the Christian life, and doesn’t know much
about the difference between right and wrong. He is still a baby Christian! 14
You will never be able to eat solid spiritual food and understand the deeper
things of God’s Word until you become better Christians and learn right from
wrong by practicing doing right. 1 Let us stop going over the same
old ground again and again, always teaching those first lessons about Christ.
Let us go on instead to other things and become mature in our understanding, as
strong Christians ought to be. Surely we don’t need to speak further about the
foolishness of trying to be saved by being good, or about the necessity of
faith in God; 2 you don’t need further instruction about baptism and
spiritual gifts and the resurrection of the dead and eternal judgment. 3
The Lord willing, we will go on now to other things.
Hebrews 6:4–12 (The Living Bible) 4 There is no use trying to bring you back to the Lord again if you
have once understood the Good News and tasted for yourself the good things of
heaven and shared in the Holy Spirit, 5 and know how good the Word
of God is, and felt the mighty powers of the world to come, 6 and then
have turned against God. You cannot bring yourself to repent again if you have
nailed the Son of God to the cross again by rejecting him, holding him up to
mocking and to public shame. 7 When a farmer’s land has had many
showers upon it and good crops come up, that land has experienced God’s
blessing upon it. 8 But if it keeps on having crops of thistles and
thorns, the land is considered no good and is ready for condemnation and
burning off. 9 Dear friends, even though I am talking like this I
really don’t believe that what I am saying applies to you. I am confident you
are producing the good fruit that comes along with your salvation. 10
For God is not unfair. How can he forget your hard work for him, or forget the
way you used to show your love for him—and still do—by helping his children? 11
And we are anxious that you keep right on loving others as long as life lasts,
so that you will get your full reward. 12 Then, knowing what lies ahead for you, you won’t become bored with
being a Christian nor become spiritually dull and indifferent, but you will be
anxious to follow the example of those who receive all that God has promised
them because of their strong faith and patience.

Living God to give you the interpretation.
2 Peter 1:16–21
(Williams) 16 For it was not mere stories of fancy
that we followed when we told you of the power and coming of our Lord Jesus
Christ, but we had been eyewitnesses of His majesty. 17 For when He
received such honor and glory from God the Father, when from the majestic glory
there was borne to Him a voice like this, “This is my Son, my Beloved, in whom
I take delight.” 18 we heard this voice ourselves borne from heaven
while we were with Him on that sacred mountain. 19 So we have the
message of the prophets more certainly guaranteed. Please pay attention to this message as to a
lamp that is shining in a dismal place, until the day dawns and the morning
star rises in your hearts; 20 because you recognize this truth above
all else, that no prophecy in Scripture
is to be interpreted by one’s own mind, 21 for no prophecy has
ever yet originated in man’s will, but men who were led by the Holy Spirit
spoke from God.]
