Recommended in Twenty-one Sermons on Hebrews 10: 20, 21, 23, 24.
Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering, for he is faithful that hath promised.
—And let us consider one another to provoke unto love, and to good works.
By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the vail, that is to say, his flesh.
And having an high-priest over the house of God: let us draw near with a true heart, in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.
"The Steadfast Adherence to the Profession of our Faith: 21 Sermons on Hebrews 10:20-24" by Robert Traill explores the essence of steadfast faith in Christian doctrine, focusing on the exhortation to hold fast to one's profession of faith without wavering. Traill explores the theological underpinnings of faith and hope, emphasizing the importance of a consistent and visible profession of faith in the life of a believer. He addresses the challenges Christians face, including external pressures and internal doubts, urging believers to remain faithful amidst adversity. Through these sermons, Traill aims to strengthen the believer's resolve to live out their faith authentically and courageously, highlighting the interplay between faith, hope, and the endurance required to profess faith in a fluctuating world.
Traill emphasizes the importance of recognizing and holding onto God's promises as the foundation of the believer's faith. He asserts that the Christian's God is a promising God, known and experienced primarily through His promises. This underscores the belief that faith in God is not just about acknowledging His existence but trusting in His faithful promises. This lesson invites believers to perceive and interact with the Bible not just as a historical document or moral guide, but as a living testament to God's promises.
A central theme of the sermons is the faithfulness of God in all His promises and the corresponding duty of believers to answer this divine faithfulness with faith. Traill teaches that God's faithfulness is not just a characteristic of His nature but a dynamic call to action for believers. This mutual relationship between God's faithfulness and human faith highlights the interactive and responsive nature of Christian faith, where divine promises and human trust are intimately connected.
Traill points to Jesus Christ as the mediator of the new covenant, emphasizing that access to God and the fulfillment of His promises are made possible through Christ's sacrifice. This theological lesson places Christ at the center of the believer's faith, not only as the object of faith but also as the means by which believers can faithfully adhere to their profession of faith. Christ's role as mediator reinforces the necessity of a personal relationship with Him as the foundation for living out the promises of God.
