Hebrews 6:10
For God is not unjust to forget your work and labor of love which you have shown toward His name, in that you have ministered to the saints, and do minister.

Application: 

Even though the author [of Hebrews] spoke harshly, he is confident that God has better things in store for his hearers (6:9). He resembles a parent who spanks a young child and then hugs him with the assurance, “I did this because I love you.” 

The author believes that his readers are more admirable than the poor ground in his illustration; he feels they will persevere in faith. Although God has not forgotten their past faithfulness when they had a passion for ministering to others (6:10), he wants them to demonstrate diligence and to imitate others who inherit the promises through faith and perseverance (6:11-12).

God’s purpose in saving you was not merely so you could go to heaven when you die; He wants to use you here until you die, and then reward you with your kingdom inheritance when He returns (see Luke 19:11-19). 

Your usefulness increases as you grow in spiritual maturity during your pilgrimage from earth to glory, from time to eternity. By developing maturity and usefulness, you will obtain your full inheritance. This inheritance is not your salvation; rather, it encompasses the good things God has in store for you in this life and the life to come.

When God inspires me, I write blogs. Consider this writing as a Bible study. Like the Bereans in Acts 17:11, search the Scriptures to determine whether what I write is so. Always consult with your church ministers about biblical matters. I am also not a professional writer, so some grammar or spelling errors may be present. I try my best to write as efficiently as possible. Your brother in Christ, Ricardo
