Hebrews 6:9-20 - God Will Not Forget You

9 Even though we speak this way, beloved, we are convinced that you will have better things, things that belong to salvation. 10 For God is not unrighteous (unjust) to forget your work and the love you showed for his name. You ministered to the holy ones and continue to minister. 11 We desire that every one of you show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope down to the end. 12 We desire that you are not lazy, but follow those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

13 When God made a promise to Abraham, he could swear by no one greater then himself, so he swore by himself.

14 He said: I will surely bless you and give you many descendants.

15 After waiting patiently, Abraham received the promise. 16 Men swear by someone greater then themselves: and an oath for confirmation to them puts an end to the problem. 17 When God desired to show more convincingly to the heirs of the promise the unchangeable character of his purpose, he confirmed it with an oath. 18 God did this to offer encouragement so we may rely on the hope offered to us. We have taken refuge in that hope and it is impossible for God to lie. These two things can never be changed. 19 We have this as a sure and steadfast anchor of life. It is a hope that enters into the inner shrine behind the curtain. 20 That is where Jesus has gone as a forerunner on our behalf. He has become a high priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.
