Hebrews 6 is a challenging chapter. Several of my friends and I are reading through this chapter each day this week (our Bible study is described here) and then, on Sunday, we will write each other a brief email highlighting something we got out of the chapter before we move on to Hebrews 7.

There is much here, but I want to list and briefly discuss each of the five benefits of salvation highlighted here by the author of Hebrews. The text speaks of

2. TASTED THE HEAVENLY GIFT
3. SHARED IN THE HOLY SPIRIT
4. TASTED THE GOODNESS OF THE WORD OF GOD
5. TASTED THE POWERS OF THE COMING AGE
