Day 3: The Blessing of Confidence (3 of 4)

BOLDNESS

Hebrews 4:16

In verses 14 and 15 the writer says that we have a compassionate High Priest who has been through what we have, can sympathize with our cares.

  • Circle “Let us therefore” and draw an arrow from these words to verse 15.
  • Underline “come boldly to the throne”
  • Hi-lite “mercy”, “grace” and “help”

Hebrews 10:19-22

We are not to be timid when approaching God, we have assurances from Him!  Assurance means there is no doubt.

  • Circle “therefore” and draw an arrow to verses 14 and 18.
  • Hi-lite “having boldness”, “having a High Priest” and “having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience”
  • Put brackets around “let us draw near” and “full assurance of faith”
  • Underline “new”, “living”, “consecrated”

Hebrews 7:25

As our High Priest, Jesus makes intercession for us, which should give us boldness to approach the throne of God.  He’s there with us.

  • Circle “Therefore” and draw an arrow to verse 24.  (He can save because He has an unchangeable priesthood).
  • Hi-lite “lives to make intercession”
  • Put a box around “He is able”

Underline “come to God through Him”

Day 4 will conclude this study of Confidence.
