What Does Hebrews 10:19 Mean?
With the doctrine established, the writer turns to its glad application, addressing his readers warmly as brethren. The great privilege now opened is access: by the blood of Jesus we may enter the holiest place itself, where God dwells.
Under the old covenant only the high priest entered the inmost sanctuary, once a year, with trembling. Now every believer may draw near, and with boldness. This confidence does not rest on our own worth but wholly on the blood of Jesus, which has cleared the way. The Holy of Holies, once guarded and remote, becomes the believer's home. What was unthinkable under the law is now the gospel's everyday gift.
