Hebrews 10:24

Let us consider. This verse may be translated, “Let us consider how to encourage one another in love and good works.” Instead of doing and saying things that will make it more difficult for others to “hold fast ... without wavering” (v. 23), the true Christian will actively consider what he may do to encourage them in so doing. This is an application of the great principle of love toward one’s fellow men, which is reflected in the second table of the Decalogue (see on Matt. 5:43, 44; 22:39). Sincere concern for the temporal and eternal welfare of others is the measure by which Heaven determines the sincerity of a man’s professed love for God (see on 1 John 2:9-11; 3:10, 14).

Love. See on Matt. 5:43, 44.

Good works. That is, love in action, love expressed in deeds of kindness and mercy. We encourage others to be kind and considerate by being kind and considerate ourselves. Such an example is irresistible. See on James 1:27; 2:18.
