Day 79 · Hebrews 10:19–25 · Berean Standard Bible
Keep encouraging one another
The invitation begins with what Jesus has done, then asks how a hopeful community can live. Meeting together has a purpose: people can encourage one another toward love and good deeds. The question is therefore larger than whether a name appears on an attendance list. We can ask whether our ways of gathering help people draw near to God and care for each other, including those who find participation difficult.
Hebrews 10:19–25
19 Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus,
20 by the new and living way opened for us through the curtain of His body,
21 and since we have a great priest over the house of God,
22 let us draw near with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.
23 Let us hold resolutely to the hope we profess, for He who promised is faithful.
24 And let us consider how to spur one another on to love and good deeds.
25 Let us not neglect meeting together, as some have made a habit, but let us encourage one another, and all the more as you see the Day approaching.
