The arrangement of the words. The "books" of the HaBerit HaChadashah are formal letters that were written by men who were inspired by the Holy Spirit. Every word is significant. Every phrase is significant. Every sentence is significant. The relationship of phrases within the sentence is significant. Yeshua is the Living Word. Yeshua sent these letters to you. The feeding of your spiritual being cannot be similar to the feeding of your physical being when you wolf down a burger and a cola. You must not casually read a couple of verses and say "that's it for today". The feeding of your spiritual being must be similar to the feeding of your physical being when enjoy a quiet, gourmet meal - you savor every morsel.

having no hope

you

by the blood of the Messiah
