Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Hebrews 10:22

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 people when they draw near to God to worship him; see John 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 used here explained in the notes on Hebrews 6:11. The “full assurance of faith” means unwavering... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Hebrews 10:19-22

Hebrews 10:19-22. Having therefore The apostle, having finished the doctrinal part of his epistle, now proceeds to exhortation, deduced from what has been treated of from Hebrews 5:4. For though there are some occasional intermixtures of doctrines, consonant to those before insisted on, yet his professed design henceforward is to propose to, and press on, the believing Hebrews, such duties as the truths he had insisted on laid a foundation for, and showed to be necessary to be practised. ... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Hebrews 10:19-25

10:19-12:29 THE ENDURANCE OF GENUINE FAITHThe new covenant brings confidence (10:19-25)Access to God’s presence was limited under the old covenant. Only the high priest could pass through the curtain that closed the entrance to the Most Holy Place, and then only at certain times and under strict conditions. But now that Christ, by his death, has atoned for sin and opened the way to God, all God’s people are able to come before him. They can do so confidently, yet with the reverence and purity... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Hebrews 10:22

Let us draw near with a true heart in fullness of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience: and having our body washed with pure water.The drawing near enjoined in these words is drawing near to God, the very concept of such a thing suggesting what a wonderful privilege is involved. God is not like some head of a mere earthly state but is the eternal and all-powerful Ruler of Creation. In all times and places, the heads of human states have enforced the strictest conditions... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Hebrews 10:11-39

III. THE HIGH PRIESTLY OFFICE OF THE SON 5:11-10:39The transition from exposition (Hebrews 4:15 to Hebrews 5:10) to exhortation (Hebrews 5:11 to Hebrews 6:20) marks the beginning of a new division in this sermon. The structure of this division is as follows. [Note: Ibid., p. 128.] a Preliminary exhortation (Hebrews 5:11 to Hebrews 6:20)A The priest who is like Melchizedek (Hebrews 7:1-28)B The single, personal sacrifice for sins (Hebrews 8:1 to Hebrews 9:28)C The achievement of eternal... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Hebrews 10:19-25

1. The threefold admonition 10:19-25The writer began with a three-fold admonition, which is all one sentence in the Greek text. The long sentence intensifies the writer’s appeal. [Note: Ellingworth, p. 516.] "In view of all that has been accomplished for us by Christ, he says, let us confidently approach God in worship, let us maintain our Christian confession and hope, let us help one another by meeting together regularly for mutual encouragement, because the day which we await will soon be... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Hebrews 10:19-39

D. The Danger of Willful Sinning (The Fourth Warning) 10:19-39From this point on in the epistle the writer made application from the great truths concerning Jesus Christ that he had now finished explaining. He followed his exposition of Jesus Christ’s superior high priestly ministry (Hebrews 6:13 to Hebrews 10:18) with exhortation, another stern warning against apostatizing, and an encouragement to remain faithful to the Lord (Hebrews 10:19-39). (Even though chapter 11 is primarily exposition,... read more
