What is Epistle to the Hebrews?
'''The Epistle to the Hebrews''' or '''Letter to the Hebrews''' is one of the letters of the [[New Testament]]. Although it is believed by many to be written by the Apostle [[Saint Paul|Paul]], many others think it might have been written by one group of early [[Christian]]s to a general group of [[Jew]]s (also called Hebrews), or to a church with Jewish members. The letter explains that [[Jesus]] Christ, the Son of God, is the perfect sacrifice for human sinners. He is superior to angels and is our High [[priest]] in the order of Melchizedek. Jesus is the Messiah whose coming gives us the superior New Covenant, as compared to the Old Covenant of [[Abraham]] and [[Moses]]. The writers state that if the Old Covenant was faultless, God would not have sent his Son to start a new one. By stating that people are called righteous through their faith and belief in God's ways, the writers urge the readers to receive God's grace by accepting Jesus Christ. {{Books of the Bible}} {{religion-stub}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Hebrews}} [[Category:Pauline epistles]] [[Category:New Testament books]]
