Why can Christians hold fast their profession of faith without wavering?
Christians can hold fast their profession of faith without wavering because Christ, who made the promises, is faithful. The assurance rests not on human strength but on the faithfulness of the One who promised, so believers are encouraged to remain steadfast and not forsake assembling together.
Les explains that Hebrews 10:23 says, 'Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering, for He is faithful that promised.' This speaks of the faithfulness of Christ. Les then connects verse 24 and 25, urging believers to consider one another to provoke unto love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together. He notes that Paul thought the Lord was going to come in his lifetime, and if Paul were alive today he would say the same thing: do not neglect your Christian fellowship, because as we see the end time approaching and all of this opposition, we need the encouragement of each other and the prayers of one another.
Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)
