Hebrews 10:19-39

Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on Hebrews 10:19-39

19Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus,
20by the new and living way opened for us through the curtain of His body,
21and since we have a great priest over the house of God,
22let us draw near with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.
23Let us hold resolutely to the hope we profess, for He who promised is faithful.
24And let us consider how to spur one another on to love and good deeds.
25Let us not neglect meeting together, as some have made a habit, but let us encourage one another, and all the more as you see the Day approaching.
26If we deliberately go on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no further sacrifice for sins remains,
27but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume all adversaries.
28Anyone who rejected the law of Moses died without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses.
29How much more severely do you think one deserves to be punished who has trampled on the Son of God, profaned the blood of the covenant that sanctified him, and insulted the Spirit of grace?
30For we know Him who said, “Vengeance is Mine; I will repay,” and again, “The Lord will judge His people.”
31It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
32Remember the early days that you were in the light. In those days, you endured a great conflict in the face of suffering.
33Sometimes you were publicly exposed to ridicule and persecution; at other times you were partners with those who were so treated.
34You sympathized with those in prison and joyfully accepted the confiscation of your property, knowing that you yourselves had a better and permanent possession.
35So do not throw away your confidence; it holds a great reward.
36You need to persevere, so that after you have done the will of God, you will receive what He has promised.
37For,
“In just a little while,
He who is coming will come and will not delay.
38But My righteous one will live by faith;
and if he shrinks back,
I will take no pleasure in him.”
39But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who have faith and preserve their souls.
