Epistle to the Hebrews: Apostasy: major Biblical commentaries

The Epistle to the Hebrews is an empassioned treatise on the superiority of Christianity compared to Judaism, of the Gospel of Christ compared to the Law of Moses. All major biblical scholars and expositors over the centuries concur in their understanding that the leading object of the author of this work is to guard those to whom it was addressed against the deadly danger of provoking the wrath of the Lord by apostasy from Christianity, by falling away from Christ and turning back to Judaism.

See the following multiple expository commentaries on apostasy from Christ in Hebrews (explicitly mentioned 416 times):

• 1:1 —mentioned twice

he warns them of the danger of apostasy, to which Jewish converts were tempted, when they saw Christians persecuted, while Judaism was tolerated by the Roman authorities

• 2:1 —mentioned 3 times

the great guilt of disobeying, neglecting, or apostatizing

• 2:2 —mentioned once

the neglecters of this salvation in general, and apostates, or back-sliders, in particular

• 2:3 —mentioned twice

so to neglect them as to end in apostacy

• 2:10 —mentioned once

An answer to the Jews, and Hebrew Christians, whosoever, through impatience at the delay in the promised advent of Christ's glory, were in danger of apostasy, stumbling at Christ crucified.

• 2:15 —mentioned once

He writes throughout as one who never forgets their need of sympathetic help, and who knows well the power of the motives, the allurements and the threats, employed to lead them into apostasy.

• 3:1 —mentioned twice

The purpose of the writer in this passage, as in the whole Epistle, is to encourage his readers in their allegiance to Christ and to save them from apostacy by exhibiting Christ as the final mediator.

• 3:2 —mentioned 3 times

urges on them the necessity of considering "his fidelity" in order to keep "them" from the danger of apostasy. A leading object of this Epistle was to preserve those whom he had addressed from apostatizing from God amidst the temptations and trials to which they were exposed.

• 3:3 —mentioned once

Eagerly as the writer is pressing forwards to develop his original and central conception of Christ as our Eternal High Priest, he yet has to pause to prove His superiority over Moses, because the Jews had begun to elevate Moses into a position of almost supernatural grandeur which would have its effect on the imaginations of wavering and almost apostatising converts.

• 3:6 —mentioned twice

A leading object of this Epistle is to guard those to whom it was addressed against the danger of apostasy.

• 3:7 —mentioned 3 times

We should regard the solemn warnings in the Old Testament against sin, and against the danger of apostasy, as addressed by the Holy Spirit to us. They are as applicable to us as they were to those to whom they were at first addressed; and we need all the influence of such appeals, to keep us from apostasy as much as they did.
