Welcome to our new project, the Daily Bible Devotional. The goal is to help you understand and apply

scripture as you go through a New Testament Bible read five days a week, Monday through Friday,

as we move from Matthew straight through to Revelation. In under four minutes each morning, we will recap the chapter,

make some application, present thought questions for the day, and offer a prayer together.

I'm excited about exploring God's word with you, so let's get started.

Welcome back to our study. We are in Hebrews today, chapter 10. The law with its repeated sacrifices

was only a shadow of the good things to come and could never fully cleanse worshippers. Year after year

offerings were made, but they could not remove sin. Instead, they served as a reminder of sin. Christ came to do what the law

could not. He offered himself once for all, making perfect those who are sanctified. Through his

sacrifice, God promises to remember sins no more. With full access to God through Christ, believers

are encouraged to draw near with sincere hearts holding firmly

to hope and encouraging one another in loving good deeds.

A warning is given against deliberate sin after receiving the truth, and a call is made to endure

with faith, knowing that God rewards those who do his will.

May we never turn to sin and accept it somehow thinking that Jesus' blood makes that

okay. We're in this thing all together and all into the end. We have been given something far greater

than a system of repeated sacrifices. Jesus offered himself once as sufficient to cover all our sins.

Because of him, we can come before

God with complete confidence, knowing our hearts have been made clean. We are called to live with

that boldness, not falling back into fear or guilt. Our hope is secure, and we must hold to it no matter

what we face. We are also called to look out for one another, encouraging each other in love and faithfulness.

Together, we flee willful sin and honor Jesus' sacrifice, trusting that God sees our efforts
