They are doing just what Satan does to us all the time. They are trying to get me to disregard
the truth in order that I might buy their inferior product.

Satan hates the truth and we minister in a world that hates the truth. Many are disregarding
it for what seems to be something better; however, little do they know that such a pursuit
leads only to emptiness and ruin. Because truth is being disregarded in our world today, it is
imperative that we remain loyal to the truth of God’s Word.

Transition w/ Key Word:
Our text gives us two reasons why we should remain loyal to the truth of God’s Word. The
first reason why we should remain loyal to the truth of God’s Word is…

B. What they taught has the power to transform us. (15)

Transition w/ Key Word:

heritage from which it came. The second reason is…

II. Because it is a God-given book that touches real life. (16-17)

Conclusion
Satan would love for us to disregard the truth of God’s Word and pursue the worldly
pleasures he tries to sell us. Don’t be deceived by his lies! It is imperative that we remain
loyal to the truth of God’s Word because of the heritage from which it came and because
it is a God-given book that touches real life. Many are turning away from the truth. How
about you? Will you remain loyal?

Basic Homiletical Outline of Hebrews 10:19-25

We can freely enter the sanctuary of God because of the way opened for us by the blood
of Jesus (cf.19-20). Christ Himself functions as our high priest over the house of God
(cf.21). Considering these truths, we should embrace the new privileges that Christ’s
sacrifice has afforded us.
