Hebrews Study Notes—Chapter 6New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)
-
-
But if it produces thorns and thistles: Instead of appreciating their “blessing from God” (Heb 6:7), some Christians chose a course of sin (Heb 6:4-6). They had deliberately developed a thankless spirit and other bad qualities. So they were like ground that produces only useless vegetation, “thorns and thistles.” In ancient times, a farmer who owned such a troublesome plot of land would have to set fire to it in order to clear away the unwanted plants. Likewise, a fiery judgment—complete destruction—awaited those former Christians who had “fallen away” from the Christian faith.—Heb 6:6 and study note; compare Isa 5:1-7.
