But we do see Him who was made for a little while lower than the angels, namely Jesus, because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor so that by the grace of God He might taste death for everyone. (Hebrews 2, NASB)
...through death He might render powerless him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, and might free those who through fear of death were subject to slavery all their lives. (Hebrews 2, NASB)
Therefore, He had to be made like His brethren in all things, so that He might become a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people. (Hebrews 2, NASB)
And to whom did He swear that they would not enter His rest, but to those who were disobedient? So we see that they were not able to enter because of unbelief. (Hebrews 3, NASB)
For the one who has entered His rest has himself also rested from his works, as God did from His. (Hebrews 4, NASB)
For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin. (Hebrews 4, NASB)
For everyone who partakes only of milk is accustomed to the word of righteousness, for he is an infant. But solid food is for the mature, who because of practice have their senses trained to discern good and evil. (Hebrews 5, NASB)
For this reason, He is the mediator of a new covenant, so that, since a death has taken place for the redemption of the transgressions that were committed under the first covenant, those who have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance. (Hebrews 9, NASB)
...so Christ also, having been suffered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time for salvation. (Hebrews 9, NASB)
All these died in faith, without receiving the promises, but having seen them and having welcomed them from a distance, and have confessed that they were strangers and exiles on the ear
He disciplines us for our good, so that we may share His holiness. ALl discipline for the moment seems not to be joyful, but sorrowful; yet to those who have been trained by it, afterwards it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness. (Hebrews 12, NASB)

    Why this page?

    I started this blog as an initiative to help people get into reading the Word of God for themselves. 

    The truth is that our faith is constantly tested, and Satan tempts us daily. In Matthew 4, Satan twists the Word of God to tempt Jesus to sin. But Jesus knows the Word well and doesn't fall for Satan's misinterpretations. Jesus doesn't lose His ability to die a sinless death for our sake and maintains His status as the Son of God.

    Fun Fact: It takes approximately 4 hours to read through the Book of Genesis, and approximately 8 hours to read through book 1 of the Harry Potter series.
