Hebrews

There are two epistles that have a similar theme and purpose. The first being Paul’s letter to the Galatians which deals with the inroads Judaizers were making in the Gentile Church. The Gentile believers were falling for the same deception that modern day Hebrew Roots proponents are deceived by today. This not only indoctrinated people into the Law, Feast Days and dietary rules, but also sought to exchange their faith in Christ for a works-based gospel in an attempt to please God; and in doing so undermine the sacrifice of Christ on the Cross. The second epistle, Hebrews, could easily be viewed as Galatians for the Jewish believers, but whereas Galatians did not go too deeply into the theology and rituals of Judaism, Hebrews, because of the religion of its recipients, thoroughly dissects the major tenets of Jewish thought relating to angels, Moses, the Tabernacle, and faith towards God. Both epistles put Christ at the centre to prove that His sacrifice on the Cross is the sole foundation for Biblical Christianity.
