Privilege and Responsibility

Hebrews 10:19-25

Pastor Deane Boyd

Christians have amazing privileges through Christ that Old Testament saints never dreamed of. Therefore, the book of Hebrews tells us, we are responsible to act on those privileges.

1. How our privileges in Christ are so much better  

• We have direct access to the throne of God   10:19

• We rely on the once-for-all sacrifice of Christ  10:20

• We have a High Priest who intercedes for us  10:21

2. How we should act on those privileges 

• Let us draw near in faith  10:22

- Our approach

- Our preparation

• Let us hold fast in hope  10:23

- Our confession

- Our confidence

• Let us consider one another in love  10:24-25

- Our mutual encouragements 

- Our gathering for worship and fellowship

Now more than ever; The Day is approaching!
