While the details of our lives may differ from those of the people to whom the book of Hebrews was written, there are still some things that never change. We live in a hostile, unredeemed world, in an unredeemed body, and have an unredeemed nature within us. Because we belong to Christ, we are targets of the Enemy's attack.
"The help the author of Hebrews gave to those in circumstances similar to ours will provide the help we need to live victoriously by faith. His exhortations to patiently endure and his warnings against moving backwards in our spiritual experience are still valid. They show us the importance of walking by faith." — from the Preface
