Paul concluded his epistle to the Hebrews with some brief teachings and statements of counsel. Read Hebrews 13 and find statements about the following questions:
• How should we treat strangers and those “in bonds”?
We are told to treat them kindly and have compassion on them. We should talk to them and listen carefully with our hearts. We should treat them as if it was our-self.
• How is marriage looked upon?
Marriage is held in high regards to the Lord. We should be honorable as it is our ultimate goal in this life.
• What warnings are given about covetousness?
We need to be happy with what we have and enjoy the blessings in our own lives.
• What is “the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever”?
Our Savior is. He does not ever waiver. He is the same today and he was yesterday or will be tomorrow.
• How are we sanctified?
Through the atonement, we are all sanctified.
• How do we respond to those who rule over us?
We are told to obey those who rule over us. Grief is not profitable to us so we must have joy.
• Who did Paul ask the people to pray for?
Paul asked for prayers for himself and the other leaders and missionaries that were trying to share the gospel with the people around them. In doing this, it shows that he knew that prayer can go a long ways in the eyes of the Lord and those around him.
