Today is the final part of studying the Book of Hebrews where we study chapter 13 and as usual, we pick up a couple of biblical principles and lessons that can be suitable for biblical counselling.

     Here the writer concludes the epistle by giving general moral advices such as to love each other, kind to strangers, remember the prisoners. Also he gives advice for the married couple that the bed is kept undefiled and to be content of what one has.

     He then shifts his attention to the leaders to be aware for those who teach strange doctrine. Our sight should be on the Lord Jesus as he offered himself scarify to redeem us from sins. The writer ends this chapter and the epistle with a prayer request and peace will be with us all
