Hebrews 10
The law was only a shadow of things to come.
After
He says above, You did not want or delight in sacrifices and offerings, whole
burnt offerings and sin offerings (which are offered according to the law), He
then says, See, I have come to do Your will. He takes away the first to
establish the second. By this will of God, we have been sanctified through the
offering of the body of Jesus Christ once and for all.
Every priest stands day after day ministering and offering the same sacrifices time after time, which can never take away sins. But this man, after offering one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God. He is now waiting until His enemies are made His footstool. For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are sanctified. The Holy Spirit also testifies to us about this. For after He says:
This is the covenant I will make with them
after those days, says the Lord:
I will put My laws on their hearts
and write them on their minds,
He adds:
I will never again remember
their sins and their lawless acts.
Now where there is forgiveness of these, there is no longer an offering for sin.

We are then reminded that through the blood of
Jesus, we can enter boldly the Father’s sanctuary.
We are urged to draw near to our Father in full
confidence.
We are encouraged to promote love amongst one
another, to spur one another in serving our Lord and to encourage one another.
We are then warned against deliberate sin.
Christ-Followers this is who we are.
For yet in a very little while,
the Coming One will come and not delay.
But My righteous one will live by faith;
and if he draws back,
I have no pleasure in him.
But we are not those who draw back and are destroyed, but those who have faith and obtain life.
