“And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds.”

Hebrews 10:24

• Spur: irritating in order to bring about change or to move something forward.
• “Let’s irritate one another on to love and good deeds.”
• Question: Are my thoughts and actions helping this person that I’m connected with
  become more like Jesus?

“Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body, and since we have
a great priest over the house of God” Hebrews 10:19

What does it look like then for us to spur one another on in a healthy way?

3 invitations we find in Hebrews to help us spur one another on.

1. Invitation to spur one another on towards intimacy with God

• Vs 22 “let us draw near to God with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water.”
• Question: Are we spurring one another on to continually draw near to the heart of God?

2. Invitation that we have to spur one to fix our eyes on eternity.

• Vs: 23“Let us hold unswervingly to the hope that we profess, for he who promised is faithful.

Invitation that we would spur one another live a fruitful life.

• Hebrews 10:24, “Let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds.”
• Ephesians 2:10, “For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”

“And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and go od deeds,” …here we go…
“not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.”

Hebrews 10:25.
