Hebrews #46: Do Not Forsake Assembling Together In Context - Part 1 (Hebrews 10:25) | Brad Robertson

LIKE and SUBSCRIBE - https://www.gracereach.org - One of the most quoted verses in the Bible is Hebrews 10:25, where the writer of Hebrews exhorted the believers in AD 65 to assemble in the days of persecution so they could be empowered to withstand the persecution (for leaving the law and embracing grace), be educated about the new testament of grace (blood of Jesus, not books in the Bible), and be encouraged to love others and practice good deeds as they awaited the return of Jesus. So often this verse is misquoted to motivate believers to go to church or be in a small group. Yet, sadly, most church and small group leaders have no understanding of what the new testament is and actually undo in their teachings and discussions what the new testament is all about. Consequently, believers remain in the dark about the new testament of grace and in bondage to spiritual rituals, requirements, practices, and disciplines in order to be get forgiveness from God and get close to God. In PART ONE, Brad explains the background of the persecution the believers in AD 65 were experiencing because they embraced Jesus and the new testament of grace. Brad explains how Jesus said in John 15-16 this persecution was coming, and how the persecution began early in the life of Jesus and is on full display in Acts, leading the writer of Hebrews to exhort the Jewish believers in AD 65 to assemble together as new testament believers so they could find strength to steady them in the persecution they were undergoing.
