Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven, Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven And this word, Yet once more,...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: For our God is a consuming fire. The God who gave the law on Sinai has never changed: the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of Moses who overthrew Pharaoh and his hosts in the Red Sea, and slew...

For our God is a consuming fire.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Let brotherly love continue. The word “continue” implies that the “brotherly love” exists, there are many things which might put an end to it, so see to it that, as far as you are concerned, it continues. Under all provocations, and under all disappointments, “let brotherly love continue.”
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Let brotherly love continue. It is supposed to be there already; let it continue, not only love of a common kind, such as we are to have to all men, but that special “brotherly love” which Christians bear to one another as members of one family. “Let brotherly love continue.”
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body. And being likely therefore to take your own turn of suffering, and to need the sympathy of your fellow-Christians. Show sympathy to...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. Abraham did so, and Lot did so; they thought they were entertaining ordinary strangers, and they washed their feet; and prepared their food but it turned out that they had entertained angels. Some people will never entertain angels unawares, for they never...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; Christian people who have got into trouble through being Christian persons who have been shut up in prison for righteousness’ sake; there were many such in Paul’s day. Sympathize with them, says the apostle, “as bound with them.” Heb_13:3. And them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge. And terrible will be their doom when God does judge them. They may think that, because they sin in secret, therefore they shall escape punishment; but it shall not be so. Whether men judge them or not, God will judge them.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge. Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. There is a fortune for you, that is a pension to fall back upon. You may very well be content...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. You have a grand reserve, therefore. What you have in possession is only a little spending money to use on the road to heaven, but “he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.” You may...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me. Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation. Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever. It is for your own benefit to remember in your...

So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me. Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation. It seems that there were special persons, who were leaders in the Church of God, who were to be...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and for ever. Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. Do not believe one thing today, and another thing tomorrow; be not carried about, like the thistledown in the wind. Have a faith of your own, know what you believe, and stand to it firmly.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. Do not put yourself into every man’s hand to let him play with you as he pleases. The fish that never nibbles at the bait is not likely to be caught by the hook, and he who will not give heed to “divers and strange doctrines” is not likely to be carried away in the net of heresy. Heb_13:9....
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein. We have an altar, Yes, true religion cannot exist without an altar, but what kind of altar is it? Is it a material altar? Far from it; but “we have an altar,” —
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which serve the tabernacle. Those who cling to the external and ceremonial observances of religion have no right to the privileges which belong to those who come to the spiritual altar; they cannot share that secret.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Whereof they have no right to eat which serve the tabernacle. They have nothing to do with it, for they are still under the old ceremonial law; and those whose religion consists in outward rites and ceremonies can never eat of the spiritual altar whereat spiritual men eat, for they do not understand the scripture, and they still serve the Mosaic...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp. Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate. Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach. For here have we no continuing city, but...
