Chapter overview (whole chapter)
Hebrews 6 urges believers to move past elementary teachings toward spiritual maturity, warning that those who fall away after tasting God's gifts cannot be renewed to repentance. It points to God's unbreakable promise to Abraham as grounds for confident hope. The chapter closes by calling this hope a sure anchor for the soul, secured by Jesus, our forerunner and high priest after the order of Melchizedek.
