Hebrews 10: Hold Fast and Draw Near

Hebrews 10 says the law was a shadow of the good things to come. The same sacrifices offered year by year could never take away sins. Jesus came to do God’s will, and by one offering he perfected forever those who are being sanctified. So believers can draw near to God with a true heart, hold fast their hope, encourage one another, and keep meeting together. The chapter ends by urging them not to throw away their boldness, because they need endurance.
