The passage explains why Jesus deserves our constant attention and loyalty, especially compared to Moses. v. 1 : The apostle warmly calls believers “holy brethren” and “partakers of the heavenly calling.” He reminds them that they are not just called to faith, but are part of God’s family. Christians should truly be holy, not just in name but in how they live. The world may mock the idea of being “holy brethren,” but it is a great honor.
