Commentary

Commentary on Hebrews 10:36

Theological / Devotional

Patience. Patience is a positive virtue. It calls for perseverance, persistence, and action despite weariness, discouragement, and obstacles that may block the way.

Done the will of God. For comment on the importance of doing God’s will see on Matt. 7:21-27.

The promise. That is, the promised reward, eternal life. As an athlete receives the prize after a successful performance, so the Christian receives “the promise” after having “done the will of God.” In the book of Hebrews “the promise” refers particularly to what is spoken of as God’s “rest” and as an “eternal inheritance” (chs. 4:1; 9:15; cf. ch. 11:13).
