19 Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, 20 by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body, 21 and since we have a great priest over the house of God,22 let us draw near to God with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water. 23 Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess,for he who promised is faithful. 24 And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, 25 not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.
Because of what JESUS did on the cross and through HIS resurrection from the dead, we can approach God through our salvation in JESUS!
So, in Hebrews 10:19-25---we see the writer encourages us to develop in our relationship with JESUS. We can do this because we have confidence to enter into heavenly fellowship with JESUS and Father through Holy Spirit!
Therefore, we need to share our relationship with JESUS with others. We need to lift others up and encourage them and spur them on to having a complete faith in JESUS, so that we can adapt to living HIS way instead of the sinful ways of our forefathers!
As we encourage one another and love each other in community, there may be arguments and disputes. However, the writer of Hebrews encourages us to live as ONE BODY of Christ. We should not give up meeting together and stop worshipping JESUS together.
Remember, we should not give up meeting together and we should pray and encourage each other. We should love each other and lift each other up always!
Remember this ideal every day!
God Bless You!
