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 This is so you won't be lazy but follow the example of the ones who inherit the promises through faith and patience.

13 When God gave Abraham his promise, he swore by himself since he couldn't swear by anyone greater.

14 He said, I will certainly bless you and multiply your descendants.

15 So Abraham obtained the promise by showing patience.

16 People pledge by something greater than themselves. A solemn pledge guarantees what they say and shuts down any argument.
