The Practical Consequence of What He Has Done (Hebrews 10:19-25).

What He has done will now bring about a number of consequences. Firstly there is what we now have, boldness to enter into the very presence of God because all that can hinder it is removed (Hebrews 10:19-20), and a looking to our great priest (Hebrews 10:21) whose intercession is unfailing, resulting in a drawing near with a true heart and full faith as those who have been purified by the blood of Christ, transformed by the Holy Spirit, and have set their hearts to do what is right (Hebrews 10:22); secondly a firm holding fast to our confession (Hebrews 10:23); thirdly a provoking of each other to love and good works (Hebrews 10:24); and fourthly a continual gathering together to worship God and learn of Him (Hebrews 10:25). The test of a true faith is nearness to God, true witness, constant purity of life and a revealing of concern for others, and finally the fellowship of the Spirit with each other.
