The reminder at the beginning is sobering—we can drift away from the salvation God is offering us. The idea of drifting, anchorless, is revisited when the author talks about our hope being an “anchor of the soul” (6:19). To not drift, we must be anchored.
Everything Jesus did was part of the plan to bring many sons (and daughters) to glory. All the suffering was in service of that. His death didn’t come from a begrudging sense of obligation—it was the goal all along. He is not ashamed to call us brethren. Absolutely incredible.
So many beautiful verses in here, too. “That through death He might destroy him who had the power of death” (Hebrews 2:14) is so poetic!
This chapter clearly states the depth and purpose of what Christ did for mankind and will do. Our healing ,our salvation , our blessings of the creation and prosperity. It indeed is worth meditation and reflecting on His part as well as what is expected of us because of Him.
I liked :14 as well, using what satan had power over to actually render him powerless – almost hard to wrap my mind around. God seems to use this same tactic all through the Bible, an example would be using symbols in the plagues of Egypt that the Egyptians revered.
But :15 has many aspects that are hard for me to understand: who are “those,” what death is feared, and what bondage were they under? Thoughts?
Do Not Neglect Salvation
1 Therefore we must give the more earnest heed to the things we have heard, lest we drift away.
Drift – notes from a sermon I recently watched, this relates to Slowly getting distracted from the truth and losing first love. What is first love? The sermon explained if you think back to your calling and becoming convicted of God’s word, 1st love is the Love of the Truth.

Indeed we must be anchored more then ever as the end drawers near if we are to endure.
