THE FIRST COMMAND RELATES TO GOD.
Hebrews 10:22 ESV
let us draw near with a true heart in full
assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled
clean from an evil conscience and our bodies
washed with pure water.
THE SECOND COMMAND RELATES TO SELF.
Hebrews 10:23 ESV
Let us hold fast the confession of our hope
without wavering, for he who promised is
faithful.
THE THIRD COMMAND RELATES TO OTHER
BELIEVERS.
Hebrews 10:24–25 ESV
And let us consider how to stir up one another
to love and good works, not neglecting to meet
together, as is the habit of some, but
encouraging one another, and all the more as
you see the Day drawing near.
What do you say to a person who is ready to
give up on Jesus?
This chapter gives divinely inspired instructions
for those who are ready to throw in the towel.
Specifically, our text teaches that you need to
commit yourself to some local assembly of
believers, so that you can submit to the
accountability and responsibility that will help
you to persevere in faith.
