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 won't become lazy, but imitators of those who inherit the promises through faith and perseverance.

13 For when God made a promise to Abraham, since He had no one greater to swear by, He swore by Himself:

14 I will most certainly bless you, and I will greatly multiply you.

15 And so, after waiting patiently, Abraham obtained the promise.

16 For men swear by something greater than themselves, and for them a confirming oath ends every dispute.
