Charles Spurgeon Commentary Hebrews 10:32

"But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye were enlightened, ye endured a great conflict of sufferings;" — Hebrews 10:32 (ASV)

But call to remembrance the former days

The apostle is not expecting that any of them will ever go back to where they were before; he is persuaded that they will persevere even to the end. The very warning that he gives is a powerful preventive against apostasy.

Now comes the exhortation: Call to remembrance the former days. Some of you can call to remembrance the time when you joined the church, when you had to run the gauntlet for Christ's sake.

Then, in your early Christian life, you feared nothing and nobody as long as you could glorify God. Then, you had great enjoyment, sweet seasons of communion with your Lord: Call to remembrance the former days.
