Things Men Can Do


Labor to enter into rest

Hebrews 4:11  

Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will fall by following their example of disobedience.

Hold fast their profession

Hebrews 4:14  

Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has gone through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess.

Fall away and be lost

Hebrews 6:4-9  

4 It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit,

5 who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age,

6  if they fall away, to be brought back to repentance, because to their loss they are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting him to public disgrace.

7 Land that drinks in the rain often falling on it and that produces a crop useful to those for whom it is farmed receives the blessing of God.

8 But land that produces thorns and thistles is worthless and is in danger of being cursed. In the end it will be burned.

9 Even though we speak like this, dear friends, we are confident of better things in your case—things that accompany salvation.

Show diligence to the end or neglect and be lost

Hebrews 6:11  

We want each of you to show this same diligence to the very end, in order to make your hope sure.

Become slothful and fail to inherit eternal life

Hebrews 6:12  

We do not want you to become lazy, but to imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised.
