Scripture: Hebrews 8-9
"For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more." (Hebrews 8:12).
This blessing makes every other blessing of the new covenant possible. God forgives. God then remembers no more...

The Silence of the Scriptures
Scripture: Hebrews 7
"For it is evident that our Lord arose from Judah, of which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priesthood." (Hebrews 7:14)
God's silence is prohibitive.

The silence of the Scriptures speaks to the authority of the true and living God.

God Doesn't Lie
Scripture: Hebrews 6
"...that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we might have strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope set before us." (Hebrews 6:18).

Jesus Prayed
Scripture: Hebrews 5
"...who, in the days of His flesh, when He had offered up prayers and supplications, with vehement cries and tears to Him who was able to save Him from death, and was heard because of His godly fear..." (Hebrews 5:7).
When God was in the flesh, He prayed. When the Son prayed to the Father the Father "heard" Him. When the Father "heard" the Son's prayers He responded. Sometimes He said, "Yes." Sometimes He said, "No." Sometimes He said, "Wait."

He responds to our prayers with the same three responses...

And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account." (Hebrews 4:12-13)
