What Does Hebrews 10:22 Mean?
Now comes the first of three great invitations that flow from the open way and the great high priest. Because access is ours, the writer urges: let us draw near. He calls for a true heart and the full assurance that faith makes possible.
The drawing near is matched by a cleansing. Hearts are sprinkled clean from a guilty conscience, and bodies washed with pure water, the inward and the outward together made ready to approach. The trembling distance of the old order gives way to confident nearness. God invites His people not to hover at the edge but to come close, assured that the One who opened the way has also made them fit to enter.
Hebrews 10:22 in the Original Language
