Hebrews 6:14 Meaning and Commentary

Hebrews 6:14

Saying, surely blessing I will bless thee
Which is expressive of the certainty of the blessings; the reality and substantiality of them; the abundance of them, and the continuance of the same: and of this nature are all spiritual blessings; as to be chosen of God; to have God to be a covenant God and Father; to be justified, pardoned, adopted, and sanctified, and so have a right and title to eternal happiness:

and multiplying I will multiply thee;
meaning both in his natural and spiritual seed, which has had its accomplishment.

Hebrews 6:14 In-Context

12 We do not want you to become lazy, but to be like those who believe and are patient, and so receive what God has promised.

13 When God made his promise to Abraham, he made a vow to do what he had promised. Since there was no one greater than himself, he used his own name when he made his vow.

14 He said, "I promise you that I will bless you and give you many descendants."

15 Abraham was patient, and so he received what God had promised.

16 When we make a vow, we use the name of someone greater than ourselves, and the vow settles all arguments.
