Rina Maria Lei,

You've said well, and I also agree with Mishael. If I might say something about the very next verse, it says "For our God is a consuming fire."

The writer of Hebrews is speaking to Hebrew (Jewish) people and saying, "You want to go back under the Old Covenant? The only thing you have to look forward to is the consuming fire of God." That's it!



The writer is telling them that through Christ, you'll have eternal life and be part of the heavenly city where God dwells. But for those people who don't want to identify with Christ, they will suffer the judgment of God.

Mishael's comment on 2021-07-31 04:01:17:

Good fear, means reverence and honor; with heart, soul and mind.

We must, it's a must have the fear of God in Our everyday Life.Amen

Wherefore since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace so that we can serve God acceptably with reverance and godly fear. For our God is a consuming fire, and it is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. So give God all the glory for what He is doing in your life always.
