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 so that you may not become sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
13 When God made a promise to Abraham, because he had no one greater by whom to swear, he swore by himself,
14 saying, "I will surely bless you and multiply you."
15 And thus Abraham, having patiently endured, obtained the promise.
16 Human beings, of course, swear by someone greater than themselves, and an oath given as confirmation puts an end to all dispute.
