Hebrews 3:12
_ _ Take heed — to be joined with “wherefore,” Hebrews 3:7.
_ _ lest there be — Greek (indicative), “lest there shall be”; lest there be, as I fear there is; implying that it is not merely a possible contingency, but that there is ground for thinking it will be so.
_ _ in any — “in any one of you.” Not merely ought all in general be on their guard, but they ought to be so concerned for the safety of each one member, as not to suffer any one to perish through their negligence [Calvin].
_ _ heart — The heart is not to be trusted. Compare Hebrews 3:10, “They do always err in their heart.”
_ _ unbelief — faithlessness. Christ is faithful; therefore, saith Paul to the Hebrews, we ought not to be faithless as our fathers were under Moses.
_ _ departing — apostatizing. The opposite of “come unto” Him (Hebrews 4:16). God punishes such apostates in kind. He departs from them — the worst of woes.
_ _ the living God — real: the distinctive characteristic of the God of Israel, not like the lifeless gods of the heathen; therefore One whose threats are awful realities. To apostatize from Christ is to apostatize from the living God (Hebrews 2:3). |
Hebrews 3:12
Take heed, lest there be in any of you — As there was in them. An evil heart of unbelief — Unbelief is the parent of all evil, and the very essence of unbelief lies in departing from God, as the living God — The fountain of all our life, holiness, happiness. |
Hebrews 3:12
(7) Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.
(7) Now consider in the words of David, he shows first by this word "today" that we must not ignore the opportunity while we have it: for that word is not to be limited to David's time, but it encompasses all the time in which God calls us. |
