Promises of God from Hebrews, Part 1

Here are selected promises of God from the first part of Hebrews compiled by Kenneth Boa:
Jesus was made a little lower than the angels and is now crowned with glory and honor because he suffered death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone (2:9).
Because Christ himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted (2:18).
The word of God is living and active.  Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart (4:12).  
We do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet was without sin (4:15).  
We can approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need (4:16).
