George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Hebrews 10:25

Not forsaking our assembly. [6] St. John Chrysostom understands the assemblies of Christians, where they met to celebrate the divine mysteries. Others expound it of not leaving the faith and communion of the Catholic Church by turning apostates: this is confirmed by the following words: for if we sin wilfully,...there is now left no sacrifice for sins. The Novatian heretics understood no pardon for sins after baptism. St. John Chrysostom and others understood no second baptism, wherewith to be... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 10:19-25

19-25 The apostle having closed the first part of the epistle, the doctrine is applied to practical purposes. As believers had an open way to the presence of God, it became them to use this privilege. The way and means by which Christians enjoy such privileges, is by the blood of Jesus, by the merit of that blood which he offered up as an atoning sacrifice. The agreement of infinite holiness with pardoning mercy, was not clearly understood till the human nature of Christ, the Son of God, was... read more

Frank Binford Hole

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Hebrews 10:1-99

Hebrews 10 IN THE PASSAGE now before us both these contrasts reappear, but coupled with them is a third the supreme glory of Him who became the sacrifice, as contrasted with both priests and offerings of old. We see Him stepping out of eternity that He might accomplish the will of God in the work that He did. The passage starts with the reminder that the law with its shadow sacrifices could NEVER make the worshippers perfect. It ends with the glorious statement that the offering of Christ ... read more

An Admonition to Stand Firm in the Faith, with Patience and Thanksgiving. The necessity of holding fast the profession of faith: v. 19.

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Hebrews 10:11-25

The New and Living Way Open to Us Hebrews 10:11-25 Note the contrast between the standing of the priests and the sitting of the Priest . The one indicated incompleteness, the other a finished work. All that needed to be done for our final and entire deliverance from sin was accomplished when Jesus returned to the Father. It is for us to pass in large demands and claims. The bank is full, but we must draw on it. It is a great help, in the study of the Old Testament, to notice how... read more

G. Campbell Morgan

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Hebrews 10:1-39

The writer now deals with the subject of the better worship. In this connection he again quotes from the prophecy of Jeremiah in order to emphasize the prediction of the new covenant concerning the forgiveness of sins. Through this offering and sacrifice of Christ, the worshipers are brought into a relationship with God in which there is no more consciousness of sin, but, instead, a delight to do God's will, and so is fulfilled the second part of Jeremiah's prediction., The provision made in... read more

RESULTS OF PRAYER‘Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering … and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.’ Hebrews 10:23-Lamentations : Here we have the results of prayer offered in accordance with the will of God. I. Loyalty to God and the truth.—This is—( a) Based upon the clearness and brightness of our sustaining hope. The Revised Version translates the first sentence thus: ‘Let us hold fast the confession of our hope.’ Hope is faith in exercise; hope rests... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 10:19-25

The Practical Consequence of What He Has Done (Hebrews 10:19-25 ). What He has done will now bring about a number of consequences. Firstly there is what we now have, boldness to enter into the very presence of God because all that can hinder it is removed (Hebrews 10:19-20), and a looking to our great priest (Hebrews 10:21) whose intercession is unfailing, resulting in a drawing near with a true heart and full faith as those who have been purified by the blood of Christ, transformed by the... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 10:24-25

‘And let us consider one another to provoke to love and good works, not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another; and so much the more, as you see the day drawing near.’ And equally important is that they have a concern for each other and stir each other to love and good works. They do this both by their own good example, and by showing concern for each other in exhortation, admonition, and encouragement. Fullness of faith results in confession... read more
