    About this ebook

    “God having provided something better for us.” (Heb. 11:40).

    This thirteen lesson workbook on Hebrews will enhance your personal study, your Life Groups or Bible Classes.

    The book of Hebrews was written to encourage Christians to remain faithful to Jesus. The writer goes to great lengths to describe how great Jesus and the salvation He has provided really is. The better things for us were promised by God and provided by the coming of Jesus into the world to be our High Priest and sacrifice for sin. The book emphasizes the weakness of the Old Covenant and the strength of the New. It stresses how much better it is for us than it was for the saints in previous ages. The word “better” is used over and over again. One word that can describe what it really means to be a believer in Jesus is the word “better.” The book will magnify the power of faith and what faith has done and will do for believers of all ages. It exhorts believers to encourage each other and warns against falling away from the faith. It even relates how persecution and trials provide encouragement for us when viewed as God’s training and discipline to make us stronger and “better.” Everything in the book points to God providing something better for us. Or, as the title of the book suggests, “Better News for the Hebrews.”

      Better News for the Hebrews - Wayne Dunaway

      Introduction to the Book of Hebrews

      ––––––––

      (The title of the book is not inspired, but was added by translators) 

      I. To Whom the Book was Written?

      The book was written to Hebrew Christians.

      They were holy brethren (Heb. 3:1).

      They had been enlightened (Heb. 10:32).

      They were Christians who could pray (Heb. 13:18).

      They were good Christians in many respects (Heb. 10:32-34).

      They were not new converts (Heb. 5:12).

      It was written to Jewish Christians probably living in and around Jerusalem.

      II. The Book was Written for the Benefit of All

      The book, while addressed to the Hebrews, was written for all Christians.

      What Jesus said to apostles, He said to all (Mark 13:17).

      The letter Paul wrote to Titus was for the benefit of all (Titus 1:4; 3:15).

      All the epistles were written for all to read and observe (Col. 4:16; 1 Thess. 5:27).

      What Jesus said to the church in Ephesus was for all to hear (Rev. 2:1, 7).

      The above references are enough to show that Hebrews (as well as all of the books of the New Testament) was written for the benefit of all Christians.

      III. The Theme of the Book

      The theme of the book is the superiority of Christianity over Judaism or the superiority of the New Covenant over the Old Covenant or as I would say it, The Superiority of the Lord's
