10:19-25 - This is one of those very close-knit passages in the NT,
all centered around </span></span><u><span style="">boldness</span></u><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">,
</span></span><u><span style="">full assurance</span></u><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">,
</span></span><u><span style="">unwavering
confession</span></u><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">,
</span></span><u><span style="">exhorting one
another</span></u><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">,
</span></span><u><span style="">continually
meeting together</span></u><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">.
This whole approach is based on the “Finished Work” of Christ. On
Calvary, Jesus' flesh was rent, a type of the veil into the Holiest,
which at the same time was rent, from the high top to the bottom!
This veil was some 4 inches thick, meaning that such a rending was
</span></span><u><span style="">supernatural</span></u><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">!
The priests had it resown - but the message from God's Throne in
heaven is unanswerable. See how both our </span></span><u><span style="">hearts</span></u><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">
and </span></span><u><span style="">bodies</span></u><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">
are dealt with at this same time, and through this same circumstance.
A number of passages bear memorizing in the NT. Surely this is one of
them!</span></span></font></p>

- Rather than letting theology, denominational points of view,
individual feelings shape our beliefs apart from clear declarations
from the Word - Why do we not let the Word mean what </span></span><u><span style="">it</span></u><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">
wants to mean, and God say what </span></span><u><span style="">He</span></u><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">
wants to say? Here the Spirit through the writer says - If we hear
the Gospel and reject it, there </span></span><u><span style="">is</span></u><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">
no other way of salvation, and the end is bitter! Other religions </span></span><u><span style="">not
based</span></u><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">
on Christ and </span></span><u><span style="">His</span></u><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">

appointed Way to Himself - face this serious end. How we need to hear

<font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2">The writer here (I believe it to
be Paul based on internal evidence, and confirmed by Bible Numerics),
contrasts the seriousness of the rejection of the law of Moses as
spelled out - but rightly concludes the greater seriousness of
rejecting the Son of God, and the blood of the eternal covenant. It
is an insult also to the Spirit of grace!</font></p>

then we read how God moves in judgment at this point. To reject the
Gospel once clearly seen - is serious. To </span></span><u><span style="">leave</span></u><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">
Christ and the Gospel after experiencing it, is much more serious.
See Hebrews 6:4-8 for a parallel insight at this point.</span></span></font></p>

<font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2">In 10:32-38 we find this
concluding exhortation. Believers are reminded of their initial love
for Christ that enabled them to endure such persecution for
righteousness' sake - and even more for their identification with
Jesus! - for Christ's sake. It reminds us of the closing beatitudes
in Matthew 5:10-12.</font></p>

- According to the context for NT sentences, paragraphs and sections,
- we often find insights revealed in no other translation or
commentary. Here is one of those surprises. This final verse to this
chapter is set off all by itself as both a sentence, paragraph and
section, all at the same time! It is the Holy Spirit's encouraging
word through the writer, that these particular hearers </span></span><u><span style="">are</span></u><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">
Marathon runners </span></span><u><span style="">unto
