Hebrews 10:22 Yesterday we looked at the first part of this verse: “Let us draw near to God.” But how? Although He always hears us and we can always draw near to Him, sometimes our experience of drawing near to Him isn’t the joy and delight that we know it should be. The rest of the verse helps us.

Hebrews 10:19-22 This passage is about entering into the presence of God. Before we look at it, it would be good just to pause and think for a moment… You and I can enter into the presence of Almighty God! This is truly amazing. We are sinners and He is holy.
