why should we hold fast our profession?
Believers should hold fast their profession because they have a great High Priest, Jesus the Son of God, who has passed into the heavens and is constantly aware of their moment-by-moment existence, and who can be touched with the feeling of their infirmities.
Les explains that as believers we face temptation every day and will never leave it until we leave this life, but we have promises to hang on to. Hebrews 4:14-16 points to Jesus as the great High Priest who passed into the heavens, fulfilling the priesthood of Melchizedek. He is constantly aware of our moment-by-moment existence. He is not a high priest who cannot be touched; He can be touched with the feeling of our infirmities. That is why we hold fast our profession.
Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.
