WE WILL. Hebrews 6:3 Mature Christians are responsible for passing on to new believers the fundamentals they have already experienced, rather than simply discussing what is clearly the truth in a questioning tone. Their maturity encourages others to "go beyond" the foundation of our faith. When they understand the work and significance of the Great High Priest of our profession, Jesus Christ, their view of the Old Testament scriptures in light of the New Testament becomes clearer. There is no need to spend time comparing Judaism to Christianity. One is the fulfillment of the other, and Christ's intercession for us enables us to live effectively for Him.
“This will we do” indicates a commitment to continue walking in the light of God's word in fellowship with our Lord, who is the Light. His sacrificial death for us cleanses us from all sin and makes it possible for us, as forgiven sinners, to be made righteous before God. This righteousness is not based on any merit of our own, but it makes the holiness God expects from us possible.
For readers of this epistle to settle only on the foundational principles of our faith and refuse to go further in accepting all that our Lord Jesus Christ is to us as our Great High Priest leads to failure. True believers will have a desire to progress in faith and confidence in God. The word “we” differentiates true Christians from “those” who are mentioned in the next verses. “Those” are professing Christians, apostates who bring shame upon the Lord Jesus Christ.
“If God permits” makes us question whether there are certain doctrines we should avoid teaching to specific people. God has no pleasure in the death of the wicked, and so He sent His only begotten Son to bear our sins in His own body on the tree. He finds no delight in “the death of those who die.” Grace made it possible for “all men to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth.” The grace of God to us must lead a sinner to true repentance, and then God will “grant repentance” that leads to life.
Sadly, many people are unwilling to repent of their sins, seek God's knowledge, or have an inner desire for salvation through grace by faith. They neither appreciate nor value God's love for them. The substitutionary sacrifice Christ made on the cross for us is often dismissed with a casual, flippant remark like, “Oh yes, I know that Jesus died for our sins.”
When people ignore God and their own sinfulness, there is no point in “casting pearls before swine.” Their lives are filled with the results of their own efforts, and they intentionally walk away from the forgiveness that God offers through the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. They may desire to reach God and be accepted, but they want that on their own terms and expect God to respond in a way that suits them, not according to God’s way and the provision He has made through His grace.
