Hebrews 10:22

"and having a great priest over God’s house,"

Key Reflection

This phrase emphasizes that believers have access to God through a greater and more glorious High Priest, Jesus Christ, who has entered the heavenly sanctuary on our behalf. This spiritual representation ensures a permanent means of approach to God for all Christians, surpassing the limitations of the Jewish high priest's yearly entry into the Most Holy Place.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Verse 22. Let us draw near with a true heart. In prayer and praise; in every act of confidence and of worship. A sincere heart was required under the ancient dispensation; it is always demanded of men when they draw near to God to worship him. See Joh 4:23,24. Every form of religion which God has revealed requires the worshippers to come with pure and holy hearts. In full assurance of faith. See the word here used explained in the See Barnes "Heb 6:11". The "full assurance of faith" means unwavering confidence; a fullness of faith in God which leaves no room for doubt.
