Let Us Draw Near

After arguing that Christ's crucifixion will cause all of His enemies to be destroyed and will cause His people to have their sins taken away, the writer then argues that we should have boldness to enter the Holiest. Since Christ died to make us holy, we should have enough faith to walk according to the law of God rather than the according to the wisdom of the world. We should prepare to enter into the Holiest, by walking in holiness now. Walking as if Christ has defeated sin, which He has. Since Christ is the High Priest, the evil of our consciences can be sanctified and our bodies washed by pure water through His sacrifice. We should be provoking one another to love and good works, because we can trust that since He is destroying the works of the devil, that those who are His will love and have good works. As we gather, we should be deliberate to provoke one another to spend our time here deliberately and with diligence to do those things that bring honor and glory to God.
