1So come on, let's leave the preschool fingerpainting exercises on Christ and get on with the grand work of art. Grow up in Christ. The basic foundational truths are in place: turning your back on "salvation by self-help" and turning in trust toward God;

2baptismal instructions; laying on of hands; resurrection of the dead; eternal judgment.

3God helping us, we'll stay true to all that. But there's so much more. Let's get on with it!

4Once people have seen the light, gotten a taste of heaven and been part of the work of the Holy Spirit,

5once they've personally experienced the sheer goodness of God's Word and the powers breaking in on us--

6if then they turn their backs on it, washing their hands of the whole thing, well, they can't start over as if nothing happened. That's impossible. Why, they've re-crucified Jesus! They've repudiated him in public!

7Parched ground that soaks up the rain and then produces an abundance of carrots and corn for its gardener gets God's "Well done!"

8But if it produces weeds and thistles, it's more likely to get cussed out. Fields like that are burned, not harvested.

9I'm sure that won't happen to you, friends. I have better things in mind for you--salvation things!

10God doesn't miss anything. He knows perfectly well all the love you've shown him by helping needy Christians, and that you keep at it.

11And now I want each of you to extend that same intensity toward a full-bodied hope, and keep at it till the finish.

12Don't drag your feet. Be like those who stay the course with committed faith and then get everything promised to them.

13When God made his promise to Abraham, he backed it to the hilt, putting his own reputation on the line.

14He said, "I promise that I'll bless you with everything I have--bless and bless and bless!"

15Abraham stuck it out and got everything that had been promised to him.

16When people make promises, they guarantee them by appeal to some authority above them so that if there is any question that they'll make good on the promise, the authority will back them up.

17When God wanted to guarantee his promises, he gave his word, a rock-solid guarantee--

18God [can't] break his word. And because his word cannot change, the promise is likewise unchangeable. We who have run for our very lives to God have every reason to grab the promised hope with both hands and never let go.

19It's an unbreakable spiritual lifeline, reaching past all appearances right to the very presence of God

20where Jesus, running on ahead of us, has taken up his permanent post as high priest for us, in the order of Melchizedek.
