The Danger of Slothfulness and Apostasy

11 Of whom we have many things to say, and hard of interpretation, seeing ye are become dull of hearing.

Matthew Henry's Commentary on Hebrews 5:11

Commentary on Hebrews 5:11-14

(Read Hebrews 5:11-14)

Dull hearers make the preaching of the gospel difficult, and even those who have some faith may be dull hearers, and slow to believe. Much is looked for from those to whom much is given. To be unskilful, denotes want of experience in the things of the gospel. Christian experience is a spiritual sense, taste, or relish of the goodness, sweetness, and excellence of the truths of the gospel. And no tongue can express the satisfaction which the soul receives, from a sense of Divine goodness, grace, and love to it in Christ.
