Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Hebrews 10:23

Let us hold fast; this duty is inferred from the doctrine of the gospel High Priest, and the perfect work he wrought in taking away sin, and bringing in everlasting righteousness: let us herefore persevere in the faith and hope of him, really, actually, stedfastly, retaining it with all our might and power; whatsoever insinuations may be used to entice us, or violence by persecutions to force us, from it, retaining it still in mind, will, affection, and operation. The profession of our faith;... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Hebrews 10:19-25

CRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTESHebrews 10:19.—Compare chaps. Hebrews 4:14-16. Brethren.—A sign of the conciliatory tone which the writer is anxious to preserve. Boldness.—See on chaps. Hebrews 3:6, Hebrews 4:16. Enter into the holiest.—Free access to the sanctuary. This point the writer has argued. By the blood of Jesus.—ἐν τῷ αἵματι. Moulton says, “It is not that we enter with the blood, as the high priest entered the Holy of Holies (Hebrews 9:25); no comparison is made between Christ’s people... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Hebrews 10:19-25

Hebrews 10:19-25 Faith, Hope, and Love. I. The Apostle's great argument is concluded, and the result is placed before us in a very short summary. We have boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way; and we have in the heavenly sanctuary a great Priest over the house of God. On this foundation rests a threefold exhortation. (1) Let us draw near with a true heart, in the full assurance of faith. (2) Let us hold fast the profession of hope without wavering.... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Hebrews 10:1-39

Chapter 10For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very substance of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect ( Hebrews 10:1 ).Now notice the law was only a shadow of the good things to come. The value of the studying of Leviticus and the studying of the law, to the Christian, is that it foreshadows the work of Jesus Christ, the offering of Jesus Christ, and the high priestly nature of Jesus... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Hebrews 10:1-39

Hebrews 10:1 . The law having a shadow of good things to come. St. Paul, ere his epistles were engrossed, weighed his words, adjusted his thoughts, collated them with the prophets, and knew the support he had from rabbinical theology. The law was a shadow indeed, but a very imperfect shadow of the Messiah, and the glory of his kingdom. Some call it a rough draught of better things. By the law we understand the whole of the ancient economy, which was a shadow of future realities; and... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Hebrews 10:22-24

Hebrews 10:22-24Let us draw nearA triplet of exhortationsI.DRAWING NEAR. Observe by way of contrast1. Moses at the burning bush. “Draw not nigh hither.” Fire symbolic of judgment. God cannot thus be approached unto. 2. Children of Israel of Mount Sinai. The injunction given to stand off from the mount, God present in holiness, requiring perfect obedience to His law. This man could not render. Therefore there was no hope of being reconciled to God by the law. 3. Yet now the apostle says, “Let us... read more
