Foreword

The letter to the Hebrews is a special letter, and it is called a “word of exhortation” by the apostle who wrote it. Most of what is written in this book is taken from that letter, and therefore references are simply marked “CH” (chapter), followed by the chapter and verse. Wherever other books in the Bible are mentioned, the name of the book, chapter, and verse appear.

In the letter to the Hebrews we are able to see just how great Jesus is, who has given us the gospel. He is the radiance of God’s glory, the heir of all things. He is the firstborn among many brethren and is anointed with the oil of gladness more than His companions. He established a new covenant, a perfect salvation, and consecrated a new and living way for us into the Most Holy Place.

In this book (So Great a Salvation) we read much about God’s only Son, who was manifest in flesh and blood like us. Thus, this book casts light on the spirit of Antichrist, which has explained away this truth and thereby the salvation and hope that Christ brought us. The purpose of this book is to bring faith and salvation to all those who have a heavenly calling. (See 1 John 4:1-3 and 2 John 7-8.) It is recommended that all the references be read.
