Hebrews 10:18-39
Are you confident that you are forgiven? Are you assured that you will stand before God clothed in the righteousness of Christ rather than your own sin? Hebrews 10 continues to point us to the magnitude of what Christ made available to us and the difference it should make in our lives. Through Christ, we can know that full forgiveness has been achieved and there is nothing left to do. Through Jesus, we can enter the very presence of God. Through Jesus, we have a high priest who perpetually intercedes for us. As a response to these truths, we are to “draw near to God.” Jesus has opened the door to the Father, but we must walk through it. Jesus, as the way, has allowed us access, but we must utilize him.
We need to continually approach God in prayer. We are to rest in him, draw near to him, and experience a continual closeness with him. We are not only to be concerned about ourselves but should "spur one another on toward love and good deeds." As we experience God's transforming work in our lives, we are to seek to be a part of his work in the lives of others. We draw near to him so that others can also draw near to him. In other words, we are to be disciples who make disciples. God doesn't just work in our lives for our own benefit; he works in our lives for the good of others.
Father God, help me to seek you first in all things and seek to be used by you in the lives of others. Amen.
What are different ways you can draw near to God? Are there any of these methods that you want to be more intentional about this week?
