Hebrews

A Practical Treatise for Plain and Serious Readers
by G. H. Lang (1874-1958)
Third Edition, 2008
296 pgs., hardcover

Hebrews, as a book of warnings, has been problematic for many believers who are not used to warnings but rather embrace only salvation by grace. G. H. Lang explains that Hebrews, taking the history of Israel as a type for the Church, is not focused on the initial step of salvation portrayed by the Passover, but rather on the need to press on to inherit full salvation in glory- symbolized by making it all the way into the Good Land of Canaan.  

"The burden of Hebrews is not rescuing sinners from hell...it is the bringing of sons into glory. Of old Israel did not reach the enjoyment of being God's son...In this Christians also may fail." (p. 58).

Eventually, all believers will enter into glory, but as the many warnings here show, it will not be without suffering and discipline, including possible exclusion from Christ's Millennial Kingdom on earth.

G. H. Lang was saved at the young age of seven and a half years. His writings include fourteen major books and innumerable booklets. He once said, "No man should write a book until he is forty. He needs to prove his theories in practice before publishing." All but nine of his many books were published after he was fifty years old.
