12/25/12 - Hebrews 7 - 11


S - Hebrews 10:19 - Therefore, brothers, since we have a confidence to enter the holy places by the blood of Jesus,  20 by the new and living way that he opened for us through the curtain, that is, through his flesh,  21 let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from and evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.  23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful.  24 and let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works,  25 not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one anther, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.

26 For if we go on sinning deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,  27 but a fearful expectation of judgement, and a fury of fire that will consume the adversaries.  28 Anyone who has set aside the law of Moses dies without mercy on the evidence of two or three witnesses.  29 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?  30 For we know him who said, "Vengeance is mine; I will repay."  and again, "The Lord will judge his people."  31 it is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of a living God.

O - My child whom I love, today I want to tell you . . . do not go on sinning deliberately.  My son paid for your sins so that you could live a good and righteous life.  If you go on sinning deliberately, you are spitting in the face of the one who died for you.  Live a life that is worthy of approaching me, the King of the Universe.  Have faith that I will give you the strength to live the kind of life that you want to live.  Come to me regularly and we will become good friends.  Then you can talk to me about anything and everything.  I will help you with all of your struggles.

A - Meeting regularly with God is the only way to a godly life.  I must continue to see him daily!

P - Heavenly Father, help me to live a life that is worthy of calling you my Father.  Give me strength to defeat temptation.
