Jesus has won for us open access to the presence of God

Hebrews 10:19-39
Encouraging:
Let us draw near to God with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkle to cleanse us from a guilty conscience a having our bodies washed with pure water.
Let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds.
Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess.
Let us not give up meeting together.
Warning:
How much more severely do you think a man deserves to be punished who has trampled the Son of God under foot, who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant that sanctified him, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace?
So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded. You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised. We are not of those who shrink back an are destroyed, but of those who believe and are save.
Why?
Jesus has won for us open access to the presence of God. 'So let us come near to God', the writer urges.
Hold firm to the hope that is ours in Christ. Go can be trust to keep his promise.
There is no sacrifice left that will save those who oppose God, despise God's Son an insult his Spirit. It is a fearsome thing to face judgment at the hands of the living God.
These are people who have suffered for their faith, who have gladly endure loss. Keep up your courage, the writer urge. Hold on, Patient endurance will be rewarded, 'Just a little while longer...'
How?
Keep up our courage with confidence, considering and persevere the suffering, so that we will be rewarded.
