What does it mean to hold fast your confession of Christ? That is what we want to think about together at this hour. Why is that some people receive this exhortation and hold Christ fast, and others do not hold it fast, and they fall away from Christ? From these verses that I have just read to you, it appears that those who fell away did not realize the importance of their continuing to trust in Jesus as their great High Priest. But those who did see the importance were able to hold Him fast. These, by grace, were able to persevere in their faith, all the way from the moment of that they were saved, to the end of their life. As the Hebrews who Paul was writing to, it is very important for you to understand what it means to hold fast your confession of Jesus. If you will hold fast to the Lord Jesus as your great High Priest, in the Lord Jesus, you will be able to persevere in faith to the end of your life rejoice forevermore in the blessedness of being with Him. This is not to say that there will not be great temptations which will come to you at times. But the believer who would be faithful, will remember these 3 precious truths which will enable them to hold fast their confession. 1st – As believers we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens. 2nd – As believers we have a High Priest who can be touched with the feelings of our infirmities. And 3rd – As believers we have a High Priest who hears and answers our prayers. Let us consider together the importance of holding fast our confession.
