2. Hebrews 10:35-39 Therefore do not throw
away your confidence, which has great
reward. (36) For you have need of
endurance, so that after you have done
the will of God, you may receive the
promise: (37) "For yet a little while, And
He who is coming will come and will not
tarry. (38) Now the just shall live by faith;
But if anyone draws back, My soul has no
pleasure in him." (39) But we are not of
those who draw back to perdition, but of
those who believe to the saving of the
soul.

3. DON' T THROW
AWAY YOUR
CONFIDENCE

4. CONFIDENCE
A. The Book of faith--Hebrews
B. Hebrews talks about confidence on several
occasions.
1. Hebrews 3:6--hold on to our confidence
2. Hebrews 3:14 --hold firmly our
confidence till the end
3. Hebrews 4:16 Come boldly to the throne
of grace
4. Hebrews 10:19 since we have boldness
5. Hebrews 10:35 do not throw away your
confidence
6. Hebrews 13:6 we may boldly say, "The
Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid.
What can man do to me?"

5. 4 REASONS
NOT TO THROW
AWAY YOUR
CONFIDENCE
(Heb 10:26-39)

6. I. BECAUSE THERE'S
NOTHING ELSE TO SAVE US
(Heb 10:26) For if we sin
willfully after we have
received the knowledge of the
truth, there no longer remains
a sacrifice for sins,

7. I. BECAUSE THERE'S NOTHING
ELSE TO SAVE US
A. Have confidence, because there is nothing
else to save us.
B. Verse 26 "there no longer remains a
sacrifice for our sins."
C. Acts 4:12--no other name .......by which we
must be saved
D. If we lose confidence in the cross of
Christ, we lose confidence in the ONLY
plan of salvation.

8. II. BECAUSE THERE'S NO GREATER WRATH
THAN GOD'S
(Heb 10:27-31) but a certain fearful expectation of
judgment, and fiery indignation which will devour
the adversaries. {28} Anyone who has rejected
Moses’ law dies without mercy on the testimony of
two or three witnesses. {29} Of how much worse
punishment, do you suppose, will he be thought
worthy who has trampled the Son of God
underfoot, counted the blood of the covenant by
which he was sanctified a common thing, and
insulted the Spirit of grace? {30} For we know Him
who said, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says
the Lord. And again, “The LORD will judge His
people.” {31} It is a fearful thing to fall into the
hands of the living God.

9. II. BECAUSE THERE'S NO
GREATER WRATH THAN GOD'S
A. Fearful expectation of Judgment
1. Now there's something to worry about. (Mat
13:40-42) "Therefore as the tares are
gathered and burned in the fire, so it will be
at the end of this age. {41} "The Son of Man
will send out His angels, and they will
gather out of His kingdom all things that
offend, and those who practice
lawlessness, {42} "and will cast them into
the furnace of fire. There will be wailing
and gnashing of teeth.
2. But not if you hold on to your confidence in
God.

10. II. BECAUSE THERE'S NO
GREATER WRATH THAN GOD'S
B. Firey Indignation
1. Romans 1:18--For the wrath of God
is revealed from heaven against all
ungodliness and unrighteousness of
men
2. But not those who hold onto their
confidence in God.

11. II. BECAUSE THERE'S NO
GREATER WRATH THAN GOD'S
C. Dying without mercy
1. (Deu 21:18-21) "If a man has a stubborn and
rebellious son who will not obey the voice of his
father or the voice of his mother, and who, when
they have chastened him, will not heed them, {19}
"then his father and his mother shall take hold of
him and bring him out to the elders of his city, to
the gate of his city. {20} "And they shall say to the
elders of his city, 'This son of ours is stubborn and
rebellious; he will not obey our voice; he is a
glutton and a drunkard.' {21} "Then all the men of
his city shall stone him to death with stones; so you
shall put away the evil from among you, and all
Israel shall hear and fear.
2. Psalm 116:115--Precious in the sight of the Lord Is
the death of His saints.

12. II. BECAUSE THERE'S NO
GREATER WRATH THAN GOD'S
D. WORSE....
1. v. 31-It is a fearful thing to fall into
the hands of the living God.
2. (Luke 12:4-5) “And I say to you, My
friends, do not be afraid of those
who kill the body, and after that have
no more that they can do. {5} “But I
will show you whom you should
fear: Fear Him who, after He has
killed, has power to cast into hell;
yes, I say to you, fear Him!

13. III. BECAUSE OF PAST EXPERIENCE
(Heb 10:32-36) But recall the former days in
which, after you were illuminated, you
endured a great struggle with sufferings: {33}
partly while you were made a spectacle both
by reproaches and tribulations, and partly
while you became companions of those who
were so treated; {34} for you had compassion
on me in my chains, and joyfully accepted the
plundering of your goods, knowing that you
have a better and an enduring possession for
yourselves in heaven. {35} Therefore do not
cast away your confidence, which has great
reward. {36} For you have need of endurance,
so that after you have done the will of God,
you may receive the promise:

14. III BECAUSE OF PAST EXPERIENCE
A. Swap stories of how God has been faithful in our lives.
1. Elijah threw away his confidence
a. (1 Ki 19:1-4) And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah
had done, also how he had executed all the
prophets with the sword. {2} Then Jezebel sent a
messenger to Elijah, saying, “So let the gods do to
me, and more also, if I do not make your life as the
life of one of them by tomorrow about this time.” {3}
And when he saw that, he arose and ran for his life,
and went to Beersheba, which belongs to Judah,
and left his servant there. {4} But he himself went a
day’s journey into the wilderness, and came and sat
down under a broom tree. And he prayed that he
might die, and said, “It is enough! Now, LORD, take
my life, for I am no better than my fathers!”
b. A man who faced 400 prophets and yet one woman
makes a threat and he runs for his life and hides.

15. III BECAUSE OF PAST EXPERIENCE
A. Swap stories of how God has been faithful in our
lives.
1. Elijah
2. Joseph naming his children: Genesis 41:51-52
a. Manasseh "because God has made me
forget all my trouble and all my father's
household."
b. Ephraim "because God has made me
fruitful in the land of my suffering."
c. Unhappy, but kept trusting God.
d. Genesis 50:20 You intended to harm me,
but God intended it for good to accomplish
what is now being done, the saving of
many lives.
B. Don't lose your confidence because of
experience

16. IV. BECAUSE THERE'S NO
GREATER REWARDS THAN GOD'S
(Heb 10:37-39) “For yet a little while,
And He who is coming will come and
will not tarry. {38} Now the just shall
live by faith; But if anyone draws
back, My soul has no pleasure in
him.” {39} But we are not of those
who draw back to perdition, but of
those who believe to the saving of
the soul.

17. IV. BECAUSE THERE'S NO
GREATER REWARDS THAN GOD'S
A. Abraham looking for another home in (Heb
11:8-10) By faith Abraham obeyed when
he was called to go out to the place which
he would receive as an inheritance. And he
went out, not knowing where he was
going. {9} By faith he dwelt in the land of
promise as in a foreign country, dwelling in
tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with
him of the same promise; {10} for he
waited for the city which has foundations,
whose builder and maker is God.

18. IV. BECAUSE THERE'S NO
GREATER REWARDS THAN GOD'S
B. Moses looked forward to the reward - (Heb
11:24-27) By faith Moses, when he became of
age, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's
daughter, {25} choosing rather to suffer
affliction with the people of God than to enjoy
the passing pleasures of sin, {26} esteeming
the reproach of Christ greater riches than the
treasures in Egypt; for he looked to the
reward. {27} By faith he forsook Egypt, not
fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured
as seeing Him who is invisible.

19. IV. BECAUSE THERE'S NO
GREATER REWARDS THAN GOD'S
C. Paul in 2 Timothy 4:7-8 "I have fought the
good fight, I have finished the race, I
have kept the faith. 8 Now there is in store
for me the crown of righteousness, which
the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award
to me on that day -- and not only to me, but
also to all who have longed for his
appearing. "

20. IS CHRISTIANITY WORTH THE
TROUBLE THAT YOU HAVE TO
ENDURE?
A. We 'have not yet resisted to bloodshed?“ Heb
12:4
B. Of course it's worth it and that means it is
worth doing well. Eccl 9:10
C. One day we will hear, "Well done good and
faithful servant.“ Mat 25:21
D. Hold on to your confidence, don't throw it
away, the rewards are tremendous.
E. Hebrews 10:35 Do not throw away your
confidence, which has great reward.

22. HAVE A CONFIDENT WEEK
