What Does Hebrews 6:10 Mean?
The writer grounds his confidence in the character of God. He recalls the readers' past and ongoing service: their 'work and labour of love,' shown for God's name in caring for fellow believers. They have ministered to the saints, and they minister still.
God, being just, does not overlook such love. He sees and remembers every act of service done for His sake. This is a deep comfort: no kindness offered in His name falls to the ground unnoticed. The verse honors faithful love as evidence of living faith and assures the weary that the God who keeps perfect accounts will not forget the smallest labor offered to Him through service to His people.
