Key Reflection

In Hebrews 6:10, the Apostle Paul addresses his readers, likely Jewish converts to Christianity who might be skeptical of their new faith. This verse comes after a section where Paul warns against apostasy and encourages perseverance in the Christian life, reminding his audience that despite any doubts or challenges they may face, he believes they will ultimately experience the fullness of salvation and its benefits.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Verse 10. For God is not unrighteous. God will do no wrong. He will not forget or fail to reward the endeavours of his people to promote his glory, and to do good. The meaning here is, that by their kindness in ministering to the wants of the saints, they had given full evidence of true piety. If God should forget that, it would be "unrighteous," (1.) because there was a propriety that it should be remembered; and (2.) because it is expressly promised that it shall not fail of reward, Mt 10:42. Your work. Particularly in ministering to the wants of the saints. Labour of love. Deeds of benevolence when there was no hope of recompense, or when love was the motive in doing it.
