Hebrews 6

The author urges believers to progress beyond elementary teachings toward maturity, warning that for those enlightened, tasting the heavenly gift, sharing in the Holy Spirit, and experiencing the word of God and powers of the coming age, it is impossible to renew them to repentance if they fall away by crucifying the Son of God again and holding Him up to contempt. The chapter illustrates this with the analogy of fruitful versus thorny ground, expresses confidence in the readers' salvation, and assures them of God's unchangeable promise to Abraham, confirmed by oath, providing strong hope as an anchor for the soul, with Jesus as forerunner entering within the veil.
