To Encorage the Christians to have Confidence

Jesus' death not only provides salvation, but also great confidence for Christians. We can step boldly before the Lord in prayer, and boldly into the world in service and witness. Jesus has already won the battle!

Hebrews 10:19-39

Message of God

^37-39  "For yet in a very little while,
He who is coming will come, and will not delay. But My righteous one shall live by faith;
And if he shrinks back, My soul has no pleasure in him.

 But we are not of those who shrink back to destruction, but of those who have faith to the preserving of the soul."

Promise to Claim

 
¹⁹ "Therefore, brethren, since we have confidence to enter the holy place by the blood of Jesus,"

³⁵ "Therefore, do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward."

Command to Obey

 ²² "let us draw near with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. ²³ Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful;"
  ²⁵ "not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near."
 ³⁶ "For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God, you may receive ^[c]what was promised."

If you are a child of God, claim your victory over sin! Be confident. Nothing can ever take you out of God's hand. No one can ever take away your salvation. No matter what happens, you are always His.
