HEBREWS CHAPTER TEN VS 19-25 (USING KING JAMES STUDY TEXT, STUDY BOOK WILL REFERENCE A DIFFERENT VERSION FOR READING)
Heb 10:19  Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, 
Heb 10:20  By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; 
Heb 10:21  And having an high priest over the house of God; 
Heb 10:22  Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. 
Heb 10:23  Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) 
Heb 10:24  And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: 
Heb 10:25  Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. 

Main Point: 22  Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, 23  Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; 24  And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: 25  Not forsaking the assembling…. but exhorting

8. What is the basis for our confidence? (Just what he has been arguing.) This more perfect priest Jesus, who himself sacrificed blood to seal a covenant with God and us through Him. THAT is where our confidence is. He has confirmed the limited scope of the old covenant. It could not take away sins and it could not perfect the conscience before God (in regards to sin).

9. How are we to draw near to God? Explain all the terms in verse 22:
a true heart: These two words carry the meaning of: true in the sense of being truthful, also, not “concealing” – heart in the sense of mind (thoughts) and emotion. Does this mean that we have nothing to hide from God? Or, does it mean we can be fully honest with God with our shortcomings?
full assurance of faith: to carry out fully (in evidence), a persuasion-credence-or moral conviction. This explains the attitude of our approach. Faith is the catalyst of our confidence. This is a physical manifestation of our belief.   
hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience: Ceremonially (figuratively) washed – from a “hurtful” moral consciousness. Evil in this sense is not a personal characteristic as much as it is just something that works against us. If we shed the old law of deed/accusation and approach God with an honest heart, He will help us. This changes the former perception that sin permanently separates the soul from God.
bodies washed with pure water: A physical directive with figurative implications. Certainly the word washed could easily remind us of baptism…..it means to fully bathe. The extended definition implies a physical effort to remain “clean”….free from sin and its negative affect on our relationship with God.

10. There are a number of reasons the bible teaches that God’s people are to assemble together. What is the main reason for assembling in the text?
“provoke unto love and to good works” – incite agape love and beautiful toil
“exhorting” – calling, imploring
These characteristics require a specific closeness and a knowledge of each other’s needs.

11. Explain the phrase, “as you see the day approaching.” What is “the day?”  -The word used for day is fairly generic and within the context suggests that Christians should encourage each other to meet. …exhorting (imploring)….as you see the day drawing near.

Additional:
19) confidence (boldness) – G3954 From G3956 and a derivative of G4483; all out spokenness, that is, frankness, bluntness, publicity; by implication assurance: -
Root words mean - ”every” and “utterance”

22) full assurance G4136 _ From G4135; entire confidence: - (full) assurance.
Root word - From G4134 and G5409; to carry out fully (in evidence), that is, completely assure (or convince), entirely accomplish:
Note that these two words carry two meanings. The first covers speech, the second covers actions. Both are absolute in their full coverage.

HEBREWS CHAPTER SIX VS 13-20 (USING KING JAMES STUDY TEXT, STUDY BOOK WILL REFERENCE A DIFFERENT VERSION FOR READING) Heb 6:13   For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself,  Heb 6:14   Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee.  Heb 6:15   And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.  Heb 6:16   For men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife.  Heb 6:17   Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath:  Heb 6:18   That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:  Heb 6:19   Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast,...

HEBREWS CHAPTER TWELVE VS 25-29 (USING KJ TEXT, STUDY BOOK WILL REFERENCE A DIFFERENT VERSION FOR READING) Heb 12:25   See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth , much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven :  Heb 12:26   Whose voice then shook the earth : but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven .  Heb 12:27   And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken , as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.  Heb 12:28   Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved , let us have grace , whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:  Heb 12:29   For our God is a consuming fire.  Main Point: The ending is much like 10:31, that signifies a terrifying scenario of ...

HEBREWS CHAPTER TWO VS. 1-4 Heb 2:1   Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things that were heard , lest haply we drift away from them .  Heb 2:2   For if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast , and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward;  Heb 2:3   how shall we escape , if we neglect so great a salvation ? which having at the first been spoken through the Lord , was confirmed unto us by them that heard ;  Heb 2:4   God also bearing witness with them , both by signs and wonders, and by manifold powers, and by gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to his own will .  2:1-4  Main point: If this is from God, and Jesus is God you’d better pay attention to the offer of salvation. If you ignore it, how will you escape (judgment implied)? Additional Notes: Chapter one relates the importance (power) of the speaker – establishes authority. This chapter continues the...
