Hebrew Outline
The Glorious Jesus Chapter 1:1 to 10:18
The Glorious Church of Christ Chapter 10:19 to 13:25
How Does the Church Glory Jesus?
Being Faithful
Being Holy
Hebrews 10:19–25 ESV
Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the holy places by the blood of Jesus, by the new and living way that he opened for us through the curtain, that is, through his flesh, and since we have a great priest over the house of God, 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. Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, 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.
“..as you see the Day drawing near”
Lord’s Day (Sunday)
Destruction of Jerusalem
Return of Jesus

QUESTION #3
What responsibilities are given to Christians in relation to one another, and how should this influence our involvement in the church?
Acts 2:42 ESV
And they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers.
1 Thessalonians 5:11 ESV
Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.
The new confidence should spur them to express their boldness by:
Drawing near in faith
Being strong in hope
Encouraging other in love
Hebrews 10:28–31 ESV
Anyone who has set aside the law of Moses dies without mercy on the evidence of two or three witnesses. How much worse punishment, do you think, will be deserved by the one who has trampled underfoot the Son of God, and has profaned the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and has outraged the Spirit of grace? For we know him who said, “Vengeance is mine; I will repay.” And again, “The Lord will judge his people.” It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
Question #4:
To those who deliberately continue in sin, and what does this imply about the seriousness of falling away from the faith?
2 Peter 2:20–22 ESV
For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world through the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the last state has become worse for them than the first. For it would have been better for them never to have known the way of righteousness than after knowing it to turn back from the holy commandment delivered to them. What the true proverb says has happened to them: “The dog returns to its own vomit, and the sow, after washing herself, returns to wallow in the mire.”
One who abandons Christ has:
Held God’s Son in contempt
Disdained Christ’s sacrifice
Rejected the Holy Spirit
Hebrews 10:32–38 ESV
But recall the former days when, after you were enlightened, you endured a hard struggle with sufferings, sometimes being publicly exposed to reproach and affliction, and sometimes being partners with those so treated. For you had compassion on those in prison, and you joyfully accepted the plundering of your property, since you knew that you yourselves had a better possession and an abiding one. Therefore do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward. For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God you may receive what is promised. For, “Yet a little while, and the coming one will come and will not delay; but my righteous one shall live by faith, and if he shrinks back, my soul has no pleasure in him.”
God takes pleasure in our faithful endurance to suffering, not the suffering itself.
Hebrews 10:39 ESV
But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who have faith and preserve their souls.
