‏ Hebrews 3:6-7

3:6 ^a We are part of Christ’s house if we keep our courage. The author could not give unqualified assurance to those who were drifting away from Christ and the church. Those who persevere in the faith have assurance that they are part of God’s house (see 3:14 ^b; Rom 8:9 ^c, 17 ^d; 11:22 ^e; 2 Cor 13:5 ^f; Col 1:22-23 ^g).
Summary for Heb 3:7-19: 3:7-19 ^h This passage presents, “as a warning to us” (1 Cor 10:6 ⁱ), the negative example of those who wandered in the wilderness for forty years and died there. The wilderness wanderings represent disobedience to God and its consequences (see Num 32:7-11 ^j; Deut 1:19-35 ^k; Ps 106:24-26 ^l).
