Matthew Henry on Hebrews 6:9-10

Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · Matthew Henry · CC0 1.0 Universal

There are things that are never separated from salvation; things that show the person to be in a state of salvation, and which will end in eternal salvation. And the things that accompany salvation, are better things than ever any dissembler or apostate enjoyed.

The works of love, done for the glory of Christ, or done to his saints for Christ's sake, from time to time, as God gives occasion, are evident marks of a man's salvation; and more sure tokens of saving grace given, than the enlightenings and tastings spoken of before.

No love is to be reckoned as love, but working love; and no works are right works, which flow not from love to Christ.
