Hebrews 13 was written to Jewish Christians facing persecution and struggling with their faith. During a period of persecution, the Jewish Christians faced hostility from both the Jews and the Romans, who perceived them as distinct from the Jewish community. Some Jewish Christians were tempted to abandon their faith and return to Judaism. This backdrop underscores the urgency of Hebrews’ message, urging believers to rekindle their fervour for God, evaluate their relationships with God and encourages practical expressions of love. Hebrews 13:1-5 illustrates this through the demonstration of compassion, commitment, contentment, providing guidance for living out the Christian faith authentically.
