Title: Things Accompanying Salvation (18 of 66)
Series: The Supremacy of Christ
Author: Mike Stone
Text: Hebrews 6:9-12
I heard about a man who saved his money to buy a ticket to go on a cruise to the Bahamas. He ate crackers and drank water because he didn't know that his ticket included food.
Having warned the Hebrews about the danger of some "professing Christians" falling away and proving they were never believers, the writer now turns his focus back on the life of those truly converted. And he speaks of things that were included with their salvation. He called them, "Things accompanying salvation."
The word "accompany" here is interesting. It's the word ECHO. In the same way that an ECHO is derived from an original source, there are some THINGS that are derived from salvation.
But the word literally references something that a person possesses. It was used to describe:
The virgin Mary being "with child." She possessed something.
Jesus "having" authority. He possessed something.
A blind man "having" blindness. He possessed something.
Like a pregnant woman is linked together with her unborn baby, and she can't go anywhere WITHOUT THE BABY tagging along...
Like Jesus having power and authority...it was WHO HE WAS and He never went anywhere without it...
Like a blind man HAVING blindness...and he never went anywhere without it...
Salvation has some things that GO WITH IT.
These things ACCOMPANY salvation.
When someone plays the piano for a singer to sing, we say they "accompanied" the singer. The 2 things went together. By contrast, I find a lot of people want a capella salvation, that is salvation without any accompaniment.
I find there are a lot of people who want "solo salvation." That is, salvation that comes by itself. Salvation without any repentance, holiness, or surrender. Without any commands, mandates, or Lordship
But the Holy Spirit through this writer says that some things will accompany salva ...
