In the book of Hebrews, the author provides several blocks of encouragement or challenge for the readers following a section of doctrinal insight. In chapter 10:19-25 there is one such block where he provides 3 challenges based upon 2 facts (which are based upon the verses leading up to this passage).
19Â Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the holy places by the blood of Jesus, 20Â by the new and living way that he opened for us through the curtain, that is, through his flesh, 21Â and since we have a great priest over the house of God, 22Â let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. 23Â Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful. 24Â And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, 25Â not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.
