In the context of early Christianity, believers faced persecution and trials, requiring them to remain steadfast in their faith. This perseverance is not passive but active, involving a continuous commitment to faith and righteousness despite challenges. Historically, the early church was often under threat, and this call to perseverance would have been a rallying cry for believers to hold fast to their convictions.<p><b>so that after you have done the will of God</b><br />The phrase "done the will of God" emphasizes obedience and action. The Greek word for "done" is "poieō," which means to make or to do, indicating that faith is demonstrated through actions aligned with God's will. This reflects the biblical principle that faith without works is dead (<a href="/james/2-26.htm">James 2:26</a>). The "will of God" refers to living according to His commandments and purposes, which is a central theme throughout Scripture. Historically, this would have been understood as living a life that reflects the teachings of Jesus and the apostles, even in the face of adversity.<p><b>you will receive what He has promised</b><br />The promise referred to here is the eternal reward and inheritance that God has assured to those who remain faithful. The Greek word for "receive" is "komizō," which means to carry off or to receive back, suggesting a future fulfillment of God's promises. This promise is rooted in the covenantal relationship between God and His people, as seen throughout the Old and New Testaments. The assurance of receiving God's promises would have been a source of hope and encouragement for early Christians, who often faced uncertainty and persecution. The promise is not just a future hope but a present reality that sustains believers in their journey of faith.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/hebrews/10.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(36) <span class= "bld">Patience</span>--<span class= "ital">i.e., </span>brave, patient endurance (see the Note on <a href="/hebrews/6-12.htm" title="That you be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.">Hebrews 6:12</a>).
