The Apostle
Paul makes the statement, as he is writing a letter
to people who primarily were long-time church
members—old-time Christians—people who had
been around a long time. Many of these, to
whom the book of Hebrews was addressed, had
very likely been converted on the day of
Pentecost recorded in Acts 2, or in the time right
after that. So, by the time Paul was writing,
many of the people who were recipients of this
letter had been in the Church for thirty years or
more, and the tendency of human beings is to
grow weary of well doing. It can be very helpful
to read the book of Hebrews from a standpoint
that it is addressed to old-time members.
