Verse 6 of this chapter - But Christ is faithful as the Son over God’s house. And we are his house, if indeed we hold firmly to our confidence and the hope in which we glory.
Think about that. We are His house if we hold firmly to our confidence and hope in Him. Nothing we do can earn this status for us, we simply must held faithfully to our hope that He is our Savior and our Redeemer. He is our King. He is infinitely good and desires to be in relationship with us more than we can imagine. Verses like this make me wonder if we won't be shocked when we enter His presence and begin to grasp just how in love with us our God really is.
Therefore it's repeated twice in the chapter, "if you hear his voice do not harden your heart". How often have I ignored his voice or hardened my heart against our Savior because of my lack of understanding and immaturity? My prayer for us all is that we would respond to His voice and our hearts would not be hardened, that we might all come to share in Christ (v. 14).
