Choice Three: Hebrews 13. Works of Righteousness

Paul concluded his epistle to the Hebrews with some brief teachings and statements of counsel. Read Hebrews 13 and find statements about the following questions:

• How should we treat strangers and those “in bonds”?

We should treat strangers and those in bonds with love, like treating the angles of heaven, also stand at their suffer and understand what they are going through, willing to mourn with those that mourn.

• How is marriage looked upon?

Marriage looked up respect, “WE WARN that individuals who violate covenants of chastity, who abuse spouse or offspring, or who fail to fulfill family responsibilities will one day stand accountable before God” (family proclamation)

• What warnings are given about covetousness?

We shouldn’t let covetousness come into our minds, be content with such things as we have.

• What is “the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever”?

It means Jesus Christ is unchangeable

• How are we sanctified?

Do not yield to Satan’s Temptations, we need to focus more on our spirituality but not on our physical needs.

• How do we respond to those who rule over us?

Give ear to those who are rulers over you, and do as they say: for they keep watch over your souls, ready to give an account of them; let them be able to do this with joy and not with grief, because that would be of no profit to you.

• Who did Paul ask the people to pray for?

For the strangers, people those in bonds, who are in covetousness, who rule over us and for Paul.
