TOPIC: APPROPRIATING THE BENEFITS OF CHRIST'S ATONING DEATH

TEXT: Hebrews 10:19-25

19 Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, 20 By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; 21 And having an 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 from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.

23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) 24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: 25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

INTRODUCTION TEXT

Christ is our High Priest; his atoning death has opened for us a new and living way to God. We now have boldness to enter the presence of God (a previously once-a-year prerogative of the high priest), with a true heart, cleansed from sin, and in full assurance of faith (see John 14:6). We appropriate the full benefits of this new status in God by faith. The text encourages us to live an active life full of love and good deeds and determination to spread the Gospel to all the world. We are also to fellowship with fellow believers, praying, studying God's word and encouraging one another especially those whose faith is waning. 

When we do these things, we maintain our commitment to the Christian community. Just as it is not possible to enter a highly secured area without prior appointment or any form of identification, so it is impossible to enter God's presence without appropriating Christ's atoning death. Beloved, let us therefore appropriate the full benefits of the atoning death so that we can boldly have access into God's presence as we see the Day of the Lord approaching.

Prayer: Father, help me to persevere in faith and to encourage someone to do same today in Jesus' Name.
