希伯来书：6:1-3：1所以，我们应当离开基督道理的开端，竭力进到完全的地步，不必再立根基，就如那懊悔死行、信靠神、2各样洗礼、按手之礼、死人复活，以及永远审判各等教训。3神若许我们，我们必如此行。
《希伯来书》的作者希望他的读者超越有关耶稣的基本道理，能更完全地理解基督是谁，以及他为我们做了什么。这并不意味着这些基本道理就不重要。它们确实很重要。马丁·路德每天都会复习他写的《教义问答》，借以提醒自己关于信仰的基本真理。对那些导致死亡的行为表示懊悔，并信靠神，这二者是我们信仰的基本真理，我们每天都应该对此反思并付诸实践。
我们应该反思上帝在《十诫》中对我们的期望是什么。路德会定期用《十诫》的所有内容进行祷告。你也可以这样做，挑选一条诫命，然后按照颂赞-认罪-感谢-祈求的顺序，仔细思想这条诫命。你可以从颂赞开始，从这条诫命中得到启示，赞美神以及他所做的一切。然后根据这条诫命承认你犯下的所有罪行。然后感谢上帝的良善、怜悯和赦免。最后根据这条诫命献上祈求。除了《十诫》以外，你也可以用《使徒信经》或《教义问答》的其他内容来重复这个过程。
我们的基督信仰是就是如此简单，但并不容易！尽管如此，上帝已经赐给我们他的话语和圣灵，藉着圣灵我们每天都活在悔罪和感谢中。今日的祷告是基于第三条诫命。
祷告：亲爱的天父，我感谢赞美你，你藉着耶稣和他的话语带给我们平安。我的主，请原谅我在听道的时候常常心不在焉。谢谢你在我心里做工，尽管我时常疏忽大意。这个主日，我又有机会和主内的弟兄姐妹一同敬拜你。请赐我相信的心，真诚的认罪，并活出感恩的生命！阿们。
Hebrews 6: Therefore let us move beyond the elementary teachings about Christ and be taken forward to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from acts that lead to death,and of faith in God, 2 instruction about cleansing rites, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. 3 And God permitting, we will do so.
The writer to the Hebrews wants to take his readers beyond the basics about Jesus and lead them into a fuller understanding of who Christ is and what he has done for us. That’ doesn’t mean that the basics are not important. They are. Luther would review his catechism every day just to remind himself of the fundamental truths of his faith. Repentance from acts that lead to death and faith in God are the important fundamentals of our faith and should be reviewed and practiced every day.
We should review what God expects of us in the Ten Commandments. Luther would regularly “pray through” the commandments. You can do that by taking each commandment and do an ACTS review. You start with ADORATION, and taking a cue from the commandment, praise God for all that he is and does. Then CONFESS whatever sins you have committed according to that commandment. Then thank God for his goodness and mercy and his forgiveness. Finally, make a supplication or prayer based on this commandment. You can do the same for the Creed and other parts of the Catechism as well.
Our Christian faith is so simple, but it is not easy! Yet, God has given us his Word and his Holy Spirit and through Him we will live a life of daily repentance and thankfulness. The prayer today is based on the Third Commandment.Prayer: Dear Father in heaven, I praise and thank you that you have given us rest in Jesus and through his Word. Forgive me, Lord, for listening with a distracted mind and heart! Thank you for working in my heart in spite of my negligence! Tomorrow is Sunday and I will again have a chance to worship with my brothers and sisters in Christ. Give me a heart that believes, a voice that confesses, and a life that gives thanks! Amen.
