3. To believe is the substance or convicon of things hoped for, the
assurance of things not seen;
Hebrews 10:19-38 Therefore, brothers, we have confidence to enter the Most
Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, 20 by a new and living way that He has opened
for us through the veil, that is to say, His flesh, 21 and since we have a High Priest
over the house of God, 22 let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of
faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse them from an evil conscience, and
our bodies washed with pure water. 23 Let us firmly hold the profession of our
faith without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. 24 And let us consider
how to spur one another to love and to good works. 25 Let us not forsake the
assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but let us exhort one
another, especially as you see the Day approaching.
26 For if we willfully connue to sin aer we have received the knowledge of the
truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, 27 but a fearful expectaon of
judgment and fiery indignaon, which will devour the adversaries. 28 Anyone who
despised Moses’ law died without mercy in the presence of two or three
witnesses. 29 How much more severe a punishment do you suppose he deserves,
who has trampled under foot the Son of God, and has regarded the blood of the
covenant that sancfied him to be a common thing, and has insulted the Spirit of
grace? 30 For we know Him who said, “Vengeance is Mine,” says the Lord, “I will
repay.”[a] And again He says, “The Lord will judge His people.” 31 It is a fearful
thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
32 Remember the former days, aer you were enlightened, in which you endured
a great struggle of afflicons. 33 In part you were made a spectacle both by
reproaches and afflicons. And in part you became companions of those who
were so abused. 34 For you had compassion on me in my chains and joyfully
endured the confiscaon of your property, knowing that you have in heaven a
beter and an enduring possession for yourselves. 35 Therefore do not throw away
your confidence, which will be greatly rewarded.
