As we continue our teachings from the Book of Hebrews we find the author now shifting his methods of motivating his audience by employing the 'stick and carrot' method. So he’s now shifting from the stick and he's now beginning to show them some of the benefits of their salvation.

Initially he expressed his concern regarding the spiritual immaturity of a people with whom he was well acquainted. They were in real danger of falling into apostacy and now he expresses great confidence about their ultimate salvation by expounding on the basics for spiritual security

Following on from the previous teaching, this session reveals a third warning in the Book of Hebrews addressed to Jews who had converted from Judaism to Christianity and who were being persecuted for deserting their faith. They were now considering reverting to the Jewish faith for safety reasons.

The passage warns that this action would result in persecution by the world shifting to discipline and correction by the Lord—a 'problem' far greater than what they were currently experiencing.

In this episode we review the six foundational aspects of Christ that we've learnt in the preceding teachings on the Book of Hebrews as we press on beyond the doctrine of the first principles of Christ unto maturity in our journey of faith, viz.

• repentance from dead works
• Faith towards God
• the teaching of Baptisms
• the Laying on of hands
• resurrection of the dead
• eternal judgment
