Hebrews 10

Hebrews 10 contrasts the inadequacy of repeated Old Covenant sacrifices, which could not remove sins, with the perfect, once-for-all sacrifice of Jesus Christ, who fulfilled God's will by offering his body and sat at God's right hand, sanctifying believers eternally.[1][3] It exhorts believers to draw near to God with confidence through Christ's blood, hold fast their confession, assemble together, and persevere in faith, warning against willful sin and apostasy.[1][3]
