Chapter Study & Analysis

Overview

Hebrews 13 concludes with practical exhortations on brotherly love, hospitality, marriage, and contentement. It reminds believers to obey their spiritual leaders and to offer the "sacrifice of praise" to God continually.

CONTEMPORARY APPLICATIONS

1. Unchanging Savior: "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever" (v. 8). In a world of constant change and theological instability, we rest in the immutable character and Word of our Lord.
2. Contentment in God: "Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have" (v. 5). Our security is found in His promise: "I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee."
3. The Sacrifice of Praise: Through Christ, we are to offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, which is the "fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name" (v. 15). Praise is a deliberate act of the will, especially in difficult times.
