Questions
- Is serving the Lord to the end (in verse 3) different from enduring to the end?
- In practice what does it mean to require those getting baptized to have a determination to serve the Lord to the end? Is this still a precondition of baptism? If so, how does the Church today judge whether this condition has been met?
- What does it mean to be "wrought upon" by the power of the Holy Ghost (verse 4)?
- How is Christ the "finisher" of our faith (verse 4)?
- At church we seem to talk a lot about concepts and programs, how much do we really talk about the "welfare" of our souls (verse 5)?
Lexical notes
- The phrase "finisher of our faith" (v.4) comes from Heb 12:2. The term translated as finisher in the NT is the Greek noun teleiotes ("perfector") which comes from the Greek verb teleioo (to make perfect or complete, to accomplish or carry through completely, to add what is lacking to make something full).
