“Let us draw near to God with a sincere heart in full passion of Faith”








Hebrews 8-10
Hebrews chapter 10

Often in our life it happens that we want to come closer to God, but we can not come closer, because at times we have taken step back from faith and love the world, for some of them it is impossible in their own thoughts of returning back. But as for God he still loves you, and wants and waits for your return. How can you draw near to God? Or how can you reconcile with him?

Give ear to these words:

V10. And by that will, we have been made holy through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
15. The Holy Spirit also testifies to us about this. First he says: 16. "This is the covenant I will make with them after that time, says the Lord. I will put my laws in their hearts, and I will write them on their minds."
17. Then he adds: "Their sins and lawless acts I will remember no more."
18. And where these have been forgiven, there is no longer any sacrifice for sin.
19. Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus,
14. Because by one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who are being made holy.
21. And since we have a great priest over the house of God
26. If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left,
27. But only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God
35. So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded
36. You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised.
37. For in just a very little while, "He who is coming will come and will not delay. 38. But my righteous one will live by faith. And if he shrinks back, I will not be pleased with him."
39. But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who believe and are saved.
