Hebrews chapter 10 verses 19 to 25.
How God’s word changes lives.
Our privileges in Jesus, Hebrews 10:19-21.
Our standing in Christ. “Since we have….”. A time when we did NOT have:
- Confidence to come to God through Jesus. The door of good deeds is blocked up. The door of Jesus is thrown open for all who will come. See John 10.
- A never failing high priest, Jesus. The best, a perfect priest, without equal.
Our responsibilities in Jesus, Hebrews 10:22-25.
- Let us draw near. Israelites at Sinai forbidden to draw near. Now there are no barriers to King Jesus. How often do I draw near Him? (Through His Word, with prayer).
- Let us hold fast, in sure hope of God’s promises.
- Let us encourage one another. “Look after number 1” say the ads. But here we have “look after one another”. This requires more than one. It can only happen within a group of people.
- Let us keep on meeting together. Church is not a solo event. We ARE “our brothers’ keeper”.
