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

⁹ But about you, dear friends, even though we speak in this way, we are confident of better things--of things that point to your Salvation. ¹⁰ For God is not unjust; he will not forget the work that you did, and the love that you showed for his Name, in sending help to your fellow Christians--as you are still doing. ¹¹ But our great desire is that every one of you should be equally earnest to attain to a full conviction that our hope will be fulfilled, and that you should keep that hope to the end. ¹² Then you will not show yourselves slow to learn, but you will copy those who, through faith and patience, are now entering upon the enjoyment of God's promises.

¹³ When God gave his promise to Abraham, since there was no one greater by whom he could swear, he swore by himself.

¹⁴ His words were-- 'I will assuredly bless thee and increase thy numbers.'

¹⁵ And so, after patiently waiting, Abraham obtained the fulfillment of God's promise. ¹⁶ Men, of course, swear by what is greater than themselves, and with them an oath is accepted as putting a matter beyond all dispute. ¹⁷ And therefore God, in his desire to show, with unmistakable plainness, to those who were to enter on the enjoyment of what he had promised, the unchangeableness of his purpose, bound himself with an oath. ¹⁸ For he intended us to find great encouragement in these two unchangeable things, which make it impossible for God to prove false--we, I mean, who fled for safety where we might lay hold on the hope set before us. ¹⁹ This hope is a very anchor for our souls, secure and strong, and it 'reaches into the Sanctuary that lies behind the Curtain,' ²⁰ where Jesus, our Forerunner, has entered on our behalf, after being made for all time a High Priest of the order of Melchizedek.
