To be called into Christ is to be called into a family—and with this come family responsibilities. Alistair Begg reminds us that as brothers and sisters in Christ, we must spur one another to love that results in good deeds. We also cannot neglect meeting with one another, because we can’t care for one another if we are needlessly absent. As the day of Christ’s return draws near, let us be found encouraging one another!
19pTherefore, brothers,3 since we have confidence to enter qthe holy places by the blood of Jesus, 20by rthe new and living way that he opened for us through sthe curtain, that is, through his flesh, 21and since we have ta great priest over the house of God, 22let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts usprinkled clean vfrom an evil conscience and our bodies wwashed with pure water. 23xLet us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for yhe who promised is faithful. 24And zlet us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, 25anot neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and ball the more as you see cthe Day drawing near.
