Hebrews 3:3-6 For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who has built the house has more honor than the house.… 1. That some professors in the visible Church may make defection, and not persevere to the end. 2. That such as shall make final defection hereafter are not a part of God's house for the present, howsoever they be esteemed. 3. That true believers must take warning, from the possibility of some professors' apostasy, to look the better to themselves, and to take a better gripe of Christ, who is able to keep them. 4. That true believers both may and should hold fast their confidence unto the end; yea, and must aim to do so, if they. would persevere. 5. That true believers have ground and warrant, in the promises of the gospel, both to hope for salvation, and to rejoice and glory in that hope, as if it were present possession. 6. That the more a man aimeth at this solid confidence and gloriation of hope, the more evidence he giveth that he is of the true house of God. (D. Dickson, M. A.) Parallel Verses KJV: For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honour than the house. |
