Hebrews is one of the most challenging books in the New Testament. Many of its topics and themes are difficult to understand, and it tends to approach them differently than other New Testament books do. But it helps when we recognize that the original audience was facing persecution and that they were tempted to turn away from Christ. That's why the author of Hebrews placed his emphasis on standing strong in the faith, and it's why this book is one of the most valuable and encouraging to Christians in every age.
