God’s Oath and Our Hope, the Anchor of the Soul

Hebrews 6:13-20

6
Chapter 6
13 For God, having promised to Abraham, since he had no one greater by whom to swear, swore by himself, 14 saying, "If indeed I will bless you, I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you." 15 And in this way, having been patient, he attained the Promise. 16 For people swear by the greater, and the oath is the end of all dispute to them for confirmation. 17 in which, desiring more abundantly to show to the heirs of the promise the unchangeable nature of his counsel, God mediated with an oath, 18 so that through two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we might have strong encouragement—we who have fled to seize hold of the hope set before us; 19 which we have as an anchor of the soul, secure and firm and entering into the inner room of the veil, 20 where a forerunner for us has entered, Jesus, having become high priest according to the order of Melchizedek into the eternal age.
