The Hands of Almighty God

Hebrews 10:26-31 (NASB)
26  For if we go on sinning willfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,
27  but a terrifying expectation of judgment and THE FURY OF A FIRE WHICH WILL CONSUME THE ADVERSARIES.
28  Anyone who has set aside the Law of Moses dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses.
29  How much severer punishment do you think he will deserve who has trampled under foot the Son of God, and has regarded as unclean the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and has insulted the Spirit of grace?
30  For we know Him who said, "VENGEANCE IS MINE, I WILL REPAY." And again, "THE LORD WILL JUDGE HIS PEOPLE."
31  It is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

1.     Grace Giving Sanctifying Hands

Hebrews 10:29 (NASB)

2.     Holy Sin Judging Hands

Hebrews 10:26-27 (NASB)
26  For if we go on sinning willfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,
27  but a terrifying expectation of judgment and THE FURY OF A FIRE WHICH WILL CONSUME THE ADVERSARIES.

Hebrews 10:30-31 (NASB)
30  For we know Him who said, "VENGEANCE IS MINE, I WILL REPAY." And again, "THE LORD WILL JUDGEHIS PEOPLE."
31  It is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

1 John 2:19 (NASB)
19  They went out from us, but they were not really of us; for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us; but they went out, so that it would be shown that they all are not of us.

3.     Joy Filling Provisional Hands

Hebrews 10:32-35 (NASB)
32  But remember the former days, when, after being enlightened, you endured a great conflict of sufferings,
33  partly by being made a public spectacle through reproaches and tribulations, and partly by becoming sharers with those who were so treated.
34  For you showed sympathy to the prisoners and accepted joyfully the seizure of your property, knowing that you have for yourselves a better possession and a lasting one.
35  Therefore, do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward.

4.     Protecting & Promise Keeping Hands

Hebrews 10:36-38 (NASB)
36  For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God, you may receive what was promised.
37  FOR YET IN A VERY LITTLE WHILE, HE WHO IS COMING WILL COME, AND WILL NOT DELAY.
38  BUT MY RIGHTEOUS ONE SHALL LIVE BY FAITH; AND IF HE SHRINKS BACK, MY SOUL HAS NO PLEASURE IN HIM.

Habakkuk 2:3-4 (NASB)
3  "For the vision is yet for the appointed time; It hastens toward the goal and it will not fail. Though it tarries, wait for it; For it will certainly come, it will not delay.
4  "Behold, as for the proud one, His soul is not right within him; But the righteous will live by his faith.

2 Timothy 2:12-13 (NASB)
12  If we endure, we will also reign with Him; If we deny Him, He also will deny us;
13  If we are faithless, He remains faithful, for He cannot deny Himself.

5.     Nail Scared Soul Preserving Hands

Hebrews 10:39 (NASB)
39  But we are not of those who shrink back to destruction, but of those who have faith to the preserving of the soul.
