OUR FATHER IS NOT UNJUST TOWARDS THOSE WHO HAVE TOILED FOR THE SAKE OF HIS NAME
The book of Hebrews chapter 6 verses 9 - 12 says this;
9 But, beloved, we are confident of better things concerning you, yes, things that accompany salvation, though we speak in this manner. 10 For God is not unjust to forget your work and labor of love which you have shown toward His name, in that you have ministered to the saints, and do minister. 11 And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope until the end, 12 that you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
The writer of Hebrews, having warned his readers about the extreme hazzard of falling away after having experienced the heavenly gifts of God and having had partaken of the Holy Spirit and and having tasted of the goodness of the word of God and having participated in the powers of the age to come, reveals that he has high expactations that his readers would not go through that even though it was needful for him to speak to them in that manner.
The writer assures his readers that their work and labour of love in their ministry towards the saints sthat was done in the name of God did not go un-noticed by God and would be just towards them.
He encourages his readers to remain steadfast in their diligence until the very end of their time on earth. Whereas it is possible to become weary and sluggish, the readers of the letter are advised to imitate those in their midst who through theor own faith and patience, inherit the promises of God.
Amen.
