An important theme woven throughout the book of Hebrews is the admonition to endure and remain faithful. Several of these admonitions are introduced with the phrase “let us.”
- Let us fear (4:1).
- Let us give diligence to enter our rest (4:11).
- Let us hold fast our confession (4:14).
- Let us draw near the throne of grace to find help (4:16).
- Let us go on to perfection or maturity (6:1).
- Let us draw near with purity and faith (10:22).
- Let us hold fast our confession without wavering (10:23).
- Let us consider and exhort one another (10:24).
- Let us lay aside every weight and let us run with endurance (12:1).
- Let us have grace by which we may serve God acceptably (12:28).
- Let us go forth to Him (be willing to bear reproach with Him and for Him - 13:13).
- Let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise unto God (13:15).
The phrase “let us” indicates these are things we are to be doing together with other Christians. Faithfulness is something that can be achieved much easier if it is done along with the right kind of people. As faithful Christians, we are to work together and help one another towards the goal of reaching our eternal reward.
