Hebrews
"God is not unjust to forget your work and labour of love..."
Text: Hebrews 6:10
ALLAYING ALL FEARS
Fears are always difficult to deal with. Once fears arise they must be quelled or they can create deep doubts. The author of Hebrews now turned his attention to allay all fears.
“For God is not unjust to forget your work and labour of love
which you have shown toward His name, in that you have
ministered to the saints, and do minister.”
Hebrews 6:10

c) He would not forget the good works that accompany salvation.
2. Good works that evidence salvation

b) Labour of love:-
i) The believer would have the love of God in his heart.
ii) This love would cause him to be moved to labour for the Lord.
c) Shown toward His name
i) The true child of God would be most conscious of God’s name.
ii) He would always seek to bring glory and honour to His name.
d) Ministered to the saints
i) The true believer develops a new and special sense of concern for the saints.
